Data governance initiatives need to be built on a foundation of enterprise data architecture, which includes a solid knowledge of business processes, an understanding of the way data is moved and transformed through the organization, and a common vocabulary to ensure effective communication. Data modeling is the cornerstone of data architecture, representing all data structures and associated metadata. Data modeling exists to help organizations make better business decisions based on large volumes of accurately interpreted and rapidly changing data.
