What Is Data Modeling? Types, Techniques, Benefits, And Use Cases
Dataversity, Wednesday, September 20,2023
Data Modeling describes the plans and activities around diagramming data requirements for business operations across one or more systems. This blueprint defines unique data entities (such as tables, systems, concepts, and hubs) and their characteristics (such as inheritance, importance, and physical structures) along with how the data flows between entities.
Organizations create or update data models anytime, depending on the business context and purpose. For example, Data Modeling may happen at the beginning of a sprint for developing functionality in an app, during bug triage and resolution, to predict how to resolve data performance when a system is down, or as part of a Data Governance request to clarify data definitions of critical elements through discussion.
