I'm Cable o'dell, a member of the Taxonomy Ontology and Natural language processing team helping to define and design ontology and information architecture processes for E services. Today, we're going to discuss master data management, data integration and information architecture.
As mentioned in earlier videos, information knowledge and wisdom all require we combine and integrate data from disparate sources for different reasons with different intents. In many ways, using data is a lot like cooking a meal. You have ingredients, the data, you have recipes, ways to combine data to make something new and the presentation of that data in the world of big data.
The recipes are often too big to be executed by a single chef. Often there's a need to have many chefs working on the same project as a result. Several disciplines have arisen to help address this need to coordinate efforts.
Disciplines like master data management, information architecture and data integration emerged to help find solutions for the challenges inherent to an information generating world master data management or MDM aims to ensure accuracy, uniformity, consistency and stewardship of data within an environment to torture an analogy. MDM helps to ensure that what I call a potato is that is what you call a potato.
Data integration examines how desperate data sources can be ingested related and managed in meaningful ways to add new value by interrelating and cos storing that content. Data integration helps to provide an environment for the execution of current recipes.
It's a fridge pantry or grocery store for storing the facts. You need to cook information architecture in some ways is the opposite of master data management. Instead of being concerned with how we store the data, it examines how we label present and deliver information across multiple systems.
How do we serve our data in ways that are useful, helpful and consistent together. They help to ensure the data we have is usable, shareable, extensible and understandable. In short, they help to convert all of that bountiful data into the wisdom we need to do our jobs a little easier and faster every day.
Thank you for your time.
