Data Architecture Language and Vocabulary with Dave Hay – Part One (English)
Data Modeling Meetup Munich (DM3)
Details
We’re happy to announce that data modeling pattern pioneer Dave Hay (see https://www.amazon.de/David-C-Hay/e/B000APF9Y2 for his books) will join us for a two-part attempt to set our own industry terminology straight.
Abstract:
The Data Architecture field is rife with terms that have become “fashionable”. Some of the terms began with very specific, specialized, meanings – but as their use spread, they lost the precision of their technical definitions and become, well, “buzzwords”. (Consider: “logical” and “conceptual” data model.) To be sure, lot of words described here have not yet achieved buzzword status. Perhaps it’s time to head those off as well.
How do you define a “conceptual model”? What about a “logical model”? “Physical model”? Would your neighbor agree on any of these? But of course, that’s not all. We have to deal not only with “entity relationship model” and “object role modeling”, but also with “the semantic web”, and “NoSQL”, among many others. Oh, and can anyone define “canonical model”?
It turns out that data industry is beginning to converge on these and related terms. But it’s not quite done yet. This presentation is a humble attempt to complete the process.
The presentation will summarize kinds of data architecture artifacts:
• Conceptual models
• Overview
• Semantic
• Entity/relationship modeling
• Object/role modeling
• Glossaries
• The Semantic Web
• Essential
• Inductive patterns
• Deductive patterns
Speaker:
Since the early 1970s, David Hay has been a pioneer in the use of process and data models to support strategic planning, requirements analysis and system design. He has developed enterprise models for many industries, including, among others, pharmaceutical research, oil refining and production, film and television, and nuclear energy. In each case, he found the relatively simple structures hidden in formidably complex situations. Mr. Hay has published several books and numerous articles. He is a frequent speaker at professional Society Conferences.
