DESCRIPTION:Click for Latest Location Information: http://edw2009.wilshireconferences.com/sessionPop.cfm?confid=31&proposalid=1266\nTo enable the much-needed agility demanded by today?s marketplace, business functions and associated processes must be supported by semantically accurate and reusable information, i.e. data and its associated metadata. Data modeling ? or the act of applying a data model theory to solve an enterprise requirement ? helps organizations identify which data is essential and defines the context for using and maintaining data, ultimately allowing business users to assess the technological impact of their decisions. \nData model instances can be categorized into various levels or perspectives, including contextual data models, conceptual data models, logical data models, physical data models, data definitions, and data instantiations. \nThis session will present:\n<ul><li>Examples of the various types of data models and their specific uses or functions</li>\n<li>An introduction to the Information Management Metamodel (IMM) OMG specification</li>\n<li>How each kind of data model is supported by the forthcoming IMM specification</li>\n<li>How these data models are ? or soon will be ? implemented by projects/components at Eclipse</li>\n<li>Ways the IMM is expected to impact and benefit data modelers, data architects, and data/modeling tool vendors</li></ul>
