Bill Inmon states:
The Data Vault is the optimal choice for modeling the EDW in the DW 2.0 framework.”, June 2007

Data Vault Data Modeling
(C) Dan Linstedt, 1990 - 2010

On this site we discuss the business sides of data modelling, how information can be modelled in different formats - the pros and cons of each modelling technique, the limitations of the modelling techniques, and what impacts they have on business.  We discuss things such as ROI, scalability, flexibility, repeatability, consistency, build-out costs, and maintenance.

If you're interested, we will also be discussing Universal Data Vaults, standard data models in the industry, architectural modelling techniques for everything from GIS/Spatial representations to security, and metadata of data models.  Included in these topics are conceptual/Logical designs versus physical designs.

Data Vault Modeling Community: http://www.DataVaultInstitute.com

Data Vault On-Line Education: http://www.DataVaultAcademy.com

The modeling techniques we cover include: (all from a business perspective)

Conceptual Ideas:

  • Agile Modeling Concepts
  • Universal Data Models (Ideas from Len Silverston)
  • Universal Data Vaults (Ideas from Dan Linstedt)
  • GIS / Spatial Data
  • Conceptual, Logical, and Physical
  • Security, and encryption
  • Metadata, Separation, Integration, Abstraction
  • DW2.0 - Modeling for the future (Ideas from Bill Inmon)
  • Incorporation of Unstructured Data (Ideas from Bill Inmon)
  • Master Data Modeling (Ideas from Lowell Fryman and Dan Linstedt)
  • Metadata Management (Ideas from Lowell Fryman)
  • Common Data Models (OSS and DSS Issues)
  • Supporting Very Large Models
  • Operational Data Warehousing Models

Differences in Application of Data Models to:

  • ODS
  • Operational Systems
  • Staging Areas
  • Enterprise Data Warehouses / Data Vaults
  • Active or Operational Data Warehouses
  • Star Schemas
  • Exploration Warehouses and Exploration Marts
  • Master Data Models
  • Report Collections and Delivery
