Love to hear more about the struggles, s...Hi Paul,<br /><br />Love to hear more about the struggles, successes, and break-throughs. Perhaps I can offer some light at the end of the tunnel (or at least some expediency) if you run in to an obstacle.<br /><br />From the sounding of the post, the keys are definately a struggle for most organizations, and the last thing I'd want anyone to do is run headlong into analysis-paralysis (which is where you were originally headed). On the other hand, often times people forget to "remember" that the Data Vault model is meant to be a flexible, living breathing model.<br /><br />And with that, getting something that works today for raw data, and beginning to capture the information is most important. REMEMBERING that the model is FLUID, and will/should change as new metadata definitions are unveiled. Perhaps, never defined - therefore making that portion of the model static in architecture, but flexible in where it LINKS to other components.<br /><br />Regarding the business data vault - for me, I need to write more about the definition of what I think a BDV is. Anyhow, the for this to be a BDV I would have to argue that the business rules are changing the content and meaning of the data before it is stored in the Data Vault. That alone would make it a BDV.<br /><br />If however, it is simply de-duped, but still loaded raw, I would still call it an auditable raw Data Vault.<br /><br />Paul - drop me a line (email first, as I'm on the road next week), we should catch up anyhow.<br /><br />Regarding cross-mapping business keys: that's fine, as long as the content and context of the data are not altered. the definition of "conformed" needs to be solidified here. Alas, business keys are slippery by their very nature - unless you are lucky enough to have a SINGLE source system from which your entire business runs. Even then, the minute the key changes, it can present challenges.<br /><br />Everyone should look forward to the publication of my Technical DV Modeling book in December this year - it explains some of these foundational concepts.<br /><br />Dan Linstedt<br />PS: Thank-you everyone for writing such interesting things, I wouldn't be where I am without your support.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04738086980836954787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1753159697685577828.post-1598368057070472072010-08-25T13:57:53.689-05:002010-08-25T13:57:53.689-05:00I think Dan would say you're implementing a Bu...I think Dan would say you're implementing a Business Data Vault;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13164768885306814216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1753159697685577828.post-935044891939764222010-08-25T01:56:04.462-05:002010-08-25T01:56:04.462-05:00We had the same issue with one entity and business...We had the same issue with one entity and business keys. We got entitys (people) from different source systems. We had to find a way to merge the systems into one entity with a conformed business key. We created a "staging table" and mapped/merged the different records to a conformed entity with a business key (compound). After this step, we loaded the records into the Datawarehouse. I think this is a good way to archive this goal. You need a conformed business key over the different source system. If there isn't one, create one.<br />What says Dan about this?Ronald Kraijesteijnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15032632843103951412noreply@blogger.com
