management.
• The skill of the data modeler and their knowledge of the business
plays a large role in successful Enterprise Information Management
across many organizations.
• Data modeling requires formal accountability, attention to
metadata and getting the business heavily involved in data
requirement development.
• These are all traits of solid Data Governance programs.

over the management of data and data-related assets.
• Data Stewardship is the formalization of accountability for the
management of data and data-related assets.
• Data Modeling is the creation of graphic representations of the
structure of an organization’s information and data

• improves regulatory compliance, security, privacy & protection.
– Non-Invasive describes how governance is applied to assure
non-threatening management of valuable data assets.
– The goal is to be
» Transparent
» Supportive
» Collaborative.

• Business Oriented (Conceptual) Models:
– Management overview – A “sketch” presented to top management,
representing a limited number of key concepts
– Semantic Model – A representation of the language of the business,
including specialized terms, jargon, etc.—with definitions.
• Each department uses language differently.
• Large, divergent, model
– Essential Model – A representation of the underlying structure of an
organization’s structure
• Patterns encompass all departments.
• Fewer, more abstract, entities produce smaller, convergent, model

• Technology-specific Models
– Logical Model – A representation that reflects the constraints of a
particular data management technology—relational tables and
columns, object-oriented classes, XML classes, etc. This should be
vendor-independent.
– Physical Model – A detailed representation of a particular database’s
design. This is vendor-specific

• Yes
– Data Modeling definitions & structures are the “stuff” being governed.
– Data Modeling requires business stakeholder involvement
– Data Modeling as part of a data management plan …
• No
– Data Modeling is about quality data definition, while
• Data Governance is about the quality of data recorded.
– Data Modeling is a discipline apart from governance
– Data Modeling does not directly lead to governed data
Is Data Modeling Data Governance?

• Technology-specific Models
– Logical Model – The decisions that went into database design make it
more or less difficult to enter good data – hence to govern it.
– Physical Model – The detailed design of a database is not the concern of
Governors.

• Data Modeling as Art
– Well prepared data models are more or less intelligible to end users
who must use them.
– Aesthetics are important (but usually ignored, alas…)
• Data Modeling as Science
– Both semantic and essential data models are kinds of “ontologies”.
• “Ontology” was the branch of Greek
philosophy concerned with “what exists”
• Semantic and Essential models describe
rigorously what exists in an organization.
– Think of the data modeler as a “data archeologist”.
