QuestionQ66

VerifiedThe TOGAF Standard, Version 9.2

UTrack Transports is a well-established UK logistics company. The head of the strategic marketing division engaged the Principal Architect by issuing a Request for architectural work to design an enhancement to the existing Enterprise Data Warehouse system. An enhancement is required to support a business-model change; UTrack wants to leverage customer data collected during business-as-usual activities and anonymize it, offering marketing agencies a fresh and accessible source of analytics data. This will increase company revenue.

TOGAF 9 is the architecture framework in use.

Refer to the scenario above. The Principal Architect has decided to ask you, as the Business Intelligence Subject Matter Expert, to design the Data Architecture. The Chief Architect shared with you the Architecture Definition Document, including the Business Architecture design. You now need to select the artifacts you want to produce as part of the Data Architecture design. Identify the best answer according to TOGAF 9.

Explanation

A Data Entity/Data Component Catalog identifies enterprise data entities and the logical or physical data components in which they are stored. A System/Data Matrix relates systems or data sources to the data entities they use, and a Data Lifecycle Diagram captures data requirements across stages of the data lifecycle. Together, these are appropriate TOGAF 9 Data Architecture artifacts for cataloging data, mapping its system relationships, and identifying common lifecycle requirements.
