Abstract
Techniques for data modeling are provided. Enterprise data is organized into reference data for entities that an enterprise wants to track and monitor. Relationship data is created that establishes relationships among the various entities within the enterprise data. The reference data and the relationship data are published within an enterprise data warehouse for accessing the enterprise data.
Claims20
A method implemented and programmed within a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium and processed by a processor, the processor configured to execute the method, comprising:
- organizing, by the processor, enterprise data into reference data for entities being tracked by an enterprise;
- creating, by the processor, relationship data that creates relationships among the entities within the reference data;
- and
- making the reference data and the relationship data available via one or more interfaces to access the enterprise data.
A method implemented and programmed within a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium and processed by a processor, the processor configured to execute the method, comprising:
- defining, via the processor, a specific party for a given party type;
- associating, via the processor, a relationship between the specific party and another party;
- and
- integrating, via the processor, the specific party and the relationship into a relational database as a golden record.
A system, comprising:
- a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions for a data modeler that execute on one or more processors of a network;
- and
- a data warehouse implemented in memory and/or non transitory computer-readable storage media that is accessible via the one or more processors;
- wherein the data modeler is configured to organize enterprise data from the data warehouse into reference data for entities being tracked by an enterprise and relationship data for relationships among the entities, the data modeler further configured to publish the reference data and the relationship data within the data warehouse, the data warehouse configured to make the reference data and the relationship data available via interfaces of the data warehouse to access the enterprise data.
