Logical Data Object Model Example

Logical Data Object Model Example

Create a logical data object model to describe the representation of logical entities in an enterprise. For example, create a logical data object model to present account data from disparate sources in a single view.
American Bank acquires California Bank. After the acquisition, American Bank has the following goals:
  • Present data from both banks in a business intelligence report, such as a report on the top 10 customers.
  • Consolidate data from both banks into a central data warehouse.
Traditionally, American Bank would consolidate the data into a central data warehouse in a development environment, verify the data, and move the data warehouse to a production environment. This process might take several months or longer. The bank could then run business intelligence reports on the data warehouse in the production environment.
A developer at American Bank can use the Developer tool to create a model of customer, account, branch, and other data in the enterprise. The developer can link the relational sources of American Bank and California bank to a single view of the customer. The developer can then make the data available for business intelligence reports before creating a central data warehouse.
