If logical data models reflect the business view,
one can think that they would be a strong basis for defining canonical
structures to enable service oriented architecture, application agnostic
archiving, etc. The challenge lies defining structures that can be implemented
in the 'real world', with master data management repositories, inconsistent
reference data across applications, and groups that may not agree with
names and definitions.
This session will be based on actual lessons learnt in seeking to tackle the above, what worked, what did not work, how one can go from an ER model (which is a bidirectional graph) to one or more XML schema structures depending on the technical/business need.
