Data Catalogues and Models

4 min

We have a number of data catalogues and models which allows you to visualise the following:-

  • a list of logical Data Objects in scope for the enterprise, organised alphabetically by name.
  • a list of conceptual Data Subjects in scope for the enterprise, organised by category (e.g. master, reference, transactional).
  • a list of conceptual DataObjects, organised alphabetically by Data Subject.
  • an overview of the relationships of a given logical Data Object.
  • Graphically represents the exchange of a given Data Object between applications.

Usage

Use the views to understand and communicate with your organisation on your data architecture.

Data Capture

In the cloud/Docker, navigate to the Data Subject class and select/create a Data Subject. If creating, add the metadata of the data subject e.g name, description, data category , data subject owner.

For both adding data objects or creating data subjects to link it to data objects, add/create data objects in the Realised By Data Objects slot. In the Data Object class, add/create its attributes in the Data Attributes slot. In the slot Data Type, define whether it has a relationship to another data object or its primitive type. In the Data Attribute Label slot, give it a short name. In order for the data object to inherit attributes of another data object, add the generalisation of the data object in the Data Object Generalisations slot.

>

NB you can link multiple data objects to a given data subject. You can also add multiple data object attributes to a data object. You can add cardinality to Data Object Attributes in the

Data Attribute Cardinality

slot.
