The document provides an overview and introduction to "The Analytics Setup Guidebook". It discusses how the guidebook aims to give readers a high-level framework for building a modern analytics setup by explaining the components and best practices for consolidating, transforming, modeling, and using data. The guidebook is intended for those who need guidance in setting up their first analytics stack, such as junior data analysts, product managers, or engineers tasked with building a data stack from scratch.
Data science involves using industrial research techniques on a company's own data to develop advanced algorithms that provide a competitive advantage. Data engineering is a specialized form of software engineering focused on handling and processing data using skills in areas like structured and unstructured data storage, machine learning platforms, and predictive APIs. While data science and business intelligence overlap in using data analysis, statistics, and visualization, data science has a more scientific approach focused on the future rather than the past. Data-focused jobs are in high demand across many industries, especially technology, but some roles may become automated, increasing the value of skills like research and communication. Education options for these fields include academic programs, boot camps, and online classes.
This document provides a curriculum vitae for Patricia Kelley-Dowd summarizing her experience and qualifications.

Original: Lean Data Model Storming for the Agile EnterpriseDaniel Upton
This original publication, aimed at data project leaders, describes a set of methods for agile modeling and delivery of an enterprise data warehouse, which together make it quicker to deliver, faster to load, and more easily adaptable to unexpected changes in source data, business rules or reporting/analytic requirements.
With this set of methods, the parts of data warehouse development that used to be the most resistant to sprint-sized / agile work breakdown -- data modeling and ETL -- are now completely agile, so that this tasking, too, can now be sized purely based on customer requirements, rather than the dictates of a traditional data warehouse architecture.

It discusses where open access is now, with many institutions and funders adopting green open access policies that support archiving publications in institutional repositories. However, policies still vary in strength. It also discusses the developing open access publishing ecosystem, which includes preprints, journals, archiving, and innovations circumventing traditional publishers. Going forward, it argues that coordinated high-level policy action is needed regarding licensing standards, funding flows, and making open access a formal part of research infrastructure globally. Recent policy developments in various countries show the field is poised for significant changes in 2016.
The document advertises and provides information about the Data Modelling Zone conference in Sydney on May 13-14, 2015.

It will be brought to Australia by Analytics8, who provide data warehousing and business intelligence consulting services, and are a leader in Data Vault data modeling training and implementation.
Here are the key points about reconciliation based on the information provided:
- Reconciliation refers to changing or repairing a relationship after some conflict or factor has damaged it. It can apply to relationships just beginning or those being rebuilt.
- When discussing reconciliation, the focus is often more on the steps needed to achieve it, rather than reconciliation itself. People may resist these steps and thus reconciliation.
- Reconciliation processes can happen at various levels, from individuals to communities to societies. At the local community level, reconciliation may involve neighbors from different backgrounds cooperating on common issues like safety.
- For reconciliation to occur at the community level, people must be willing to work together in spaces that were once divided. This challenges them

This white paper discusses how companies can apply data science insights to improve products and operations. It describes the typical data science project lifecycle, including problem definition, data collection, model building and testing. However, many companies struggle to deploy models into production applications. The paper argues that data science teams need tools that allow models to be easily updated and redeployed without disrupting operations. The Yhat platform aims to streamline this process and help companies more quickly turn insights into data-driven products.
The content of the document, "Implementing Data Mesh: Six Ways That Can Improve the Odds of Your Success," is a whitepaper authored by Ranganath Ramakrishna from LTIMindtree. The whitepaper introduces the concept of Data Mesh, a socio-technical paradigm that aims to help organizations fully leverage the value of their analytical data.
Data-Ed Online: Trends in Data ModelingDATAVERSITY
Businesses cannot compete without data. Every organization produces and consumes it. Data trends are hitting the mainstream and businesses are adopting buzzwords such as Big Data, data vault, data scientist, etc., to seek solutions for their fundamental data issues. Few realize that the importance of any solution, regardless of platform or technology, relies on the data model supporting it. Data modeling is not an optional task for an organization’s data remediation effort. Instead, it is a vital activity that supports the solution driving your business.
This webinar will address emerging trends around data model application methodology, as well as trends around the practice of data modeling itself. We will discuss abstract models and entity frameworks, as well as the general shift from data modeling being segmented to becoming more integrated with business practices.
Takeaways:
How are anchor modeling, data vault, etc. different and when should I apply them?

The document discusses emerging trends in data modeling. It provides an overview of different types of data models including conceptual, logical and physical models. It also discusses different modeling approaches such as third normal form, star schema, and data vault. Additionally, it covers new technologies like NoSQL and key-value stores. The webinar aims to address trends in data model application technologies and the practice of data modeling itself.
When writing this new paper, my main objective was to provide a clear understanding of where the term "Big Data" comes from, why is that term so popular now, what does it really mean and what can be its implication for businesses. Because the full power of Big Data can be revealed only by Analytics, i provided a description of a widely recognized and used analytical techniques to help you figure out how used in conjunction with Big Data, analytics can boost Business Performance.
i expected that by the end of this paper :
- you will smile the next time you read or hear at the terms big data, hadoop, or analytics :)
- you will understand the technologies that are behind the scene when one talks about "Big Data"
- you will know how to "make sense" of Big Data using Analytics
- you will get a basic idea of data mining techniques used in Business in general and in Big Data in particular
- you will be able to get every news about Big Data

Exploring Data Modeling Techniques in Modern Data Warehousespriyanka rajput
This article delves deep into data modeling techniques in modern data warehouses, shedding light on their significance and various approaches. If you are aspiring to be a data analyst or data scientist, understanding data modeling is essential, making a Data Analytics Course in Bangalore, Lucknow, Bangalore, Pune, Delhi, Mumbai, Gandhinagar, and other cities across India an attractive proposition.
The document discusses the need for business modeling tools that go beyond traditional business intelligence (BI) capabilities like reporting and data access. While BI has improved data availability, tools for analyzing and manipulating data have not progressed as quickly. Spreadsheet use remains high despite data warehousing investments. The document argues that effective business modeling requires separating physical and semantic data models to make the data more understandable and usable for business users. It also requires the ability to create and update models over time in a standardized, integrated way.
Aligning business and tech thru capabilities - A capstera thought paperSatyaIluri
Enterprises the world over spend billions of dollars on technology enablement of business functions. A significant portion of those dollars end up creating suboptimal solutions. Most IT project problems are rooted in ambiguous business definition, churn in requirements gathering, scope creep beyond a minimum marketable feature set, wild cost guestimations, not planning for interdependencies, and a lack of strong governance.
This Capstera white paper seeks to address some of these problems and provide a framework to minimize the challenges.
This document discusses different types of business models and their uses. It describes strategy models like the business model canvas that show the overall business. Process models depict how work is done through tasks and flows. Organization models illustrate structure using charts. Information models represent business rules and data relationships. The document explains that models reduce complexity, support communication, analysis, requirements, testing, training, compliance, and knowledge management. They provide a powerful tool for understanding businesses and enabling change.

How well does the model leverage generic structures?
An application’s flexibility and data quality depend quite a bit on the underlying data model. In other
words, a good data model can lead to a good application and a bad data model can lead to a bad
application. Therefore we need an objective way of measuring what is good or bad about the model.
After reviewing hundreds of data models, I formalized the criteria I have been using into what I call the
Data Model Scorecard.
The Scorecard contains 10 categories:
1. How well does the model capture the requirements?
2. How complete is the model?
3. How structurally sound is the model?
4. How well does the model leverage generic structures?
5. How well does the model follow naming standards?
6. How well has the model been arranged for readability?
7. How good are the definitions?
8. How well has real world context been incorporated into the model?
9. How consistent is the model with the enterprise?
10. How well does the metadata match the data?
This is the fifth of a series of articles on the Data Model Scorecard. The first article on the Scorecard
summarized the 10 categories, the second article focused on the correctness category, the third article
focused on the completeness category, the fourth article focused on the structure category, and this
article focuses on the abstraction category. That is, How well does the model leverage generic
structures? For more on the Scorecard, please refer to my book, Data Modeling Made Simple: A Practical
Guide for Business & IT Professionals.
How well does the model leverage generic structures?
This category gauges the use of generic data element, entity, and relationship structures. One of the
most powerful tools a data modeler has at their disposal is abstraction, the ability to increase the types
of information a design can accommodate using generic concepts. Going from Customer Location to a
more generic Location for example, allows the design to more easily handle other types of locations,
such as warehouses and distribution centers. This category ensures the correct level of abstraction is
applied on the model.
In applying this category to a model, I look for structures that appear to be under abstracted or over
abstracted:
Under abstracting. If a data model contains structures that appear to be similar in nature (i.e. similar
types of things), I would question whether abstraction would be appropriate. Factored into this equation
is the type of application we are building. A data mart for example, would rarely contain abstract

structures while a data warehouse which requires flexibility and longevity would be a good candidate for
abstraction.
See Figure 1 for an example of under abstracting. If this structure is part of a data warehouse model
which requires longevity in the face of ever changing requirements, we would question whether the
Customer’s phone numbers should have been abstracted. Removing the phone number data elements
and creating a separate Customer Phone structure where phone numbers are stored as values instead of
elements will provide more flexibility.
Figure 1 – Possibly under abstracting
Over abstracting. Likewise, if I see too much abstraction on a model, I would question whether the
flexibility abstraction can bring is worth the loss of business information on the model and the additional
cost of time and money to implement such a structure. Writing the scripts to load data into an abstract
structure or extract data out of an abstract structure is no easy task. In fact, a complete generalization
but I have found that modelers who used to be developers tend to be the shrewdest abstracters because
they understand the cost.
See Figure 2 for an example of over abstracting. The purpose of this model was limited to obtaining a
detailed understanding of Customer. Specifically, the business sponsor summarizes their requirement as
“We need to get our arms around Customer. Our company has customer maintained in multiple places
with multiple definitions. We need a picture which captures a single agreed-upon view of customer.”

Party
Party Role
A Party can be a person or organization, and that person or organization can play many roles. One of
these roles is Customer. Although the final Customer model might contain such an abstract structure,
jumping straight to Party and Party Role before understanding Customer mistakenly skips the painful
activity of getting a single view of customer.
As a proactive measure to ensure the correct level of abstraction, I recommend performing the following
activities:
• Ask the “value” question. As a proactive measure to ensure the correct level of abstraction, I find
myself constantly asking the “value” question. That is, if a structure is abstracted, can we actually
reap the benefits some time in the not so distant future? In Figure 1 for example, the Customer’s
names are abstracted into the Customer Name entity. The “value” question might take the form of,
“I see you have abstracted Customer Name. What are other types of customer names you envision in
the next 2-3 months?”
• Abstract after normalizing. When you normalize, you learn how the business works. This gives you a
substantial amount of information to make intelligent abstraction decisions.
• Consider type of application. Some types of applications, such as data warehouses and operational
data stores, require more abstraction than other types of applications, such as data marts. A good
rule of thumb is if the application needs to be around a long time, yet its future data requirements
can not be determined, abstraction tends to be a good fit.
