Many organizations are stuck with a plethora of disparate systems. This presentation will address GAP Inc.’s response to the challenge of bringing together metadata under a common framework for reporting and management. It will also include a forward looking strategy for incorporating new or narrowly technologies into the metadata framework. - Agile Logical modeling?
- What’s left to model? Measuring the metadata backlog.
- When is a model just barely good enough?
- Ubiquitous language - Dealing with synonyms, and dialects.
- Managing technical debt when there are discrepancies across applications and domains.
- Modeling services.
- Modeling new technologies.
- How do legacy systems implement the Enterprise Logical Model?
