Data virtualization often part of #DW federation—i.e, decentralization. That makes #MDM less practical. #dmjam 1,279,653,023,000.00 via TweetDeck

@WinstonChen #dmjam I disagree. The sys of record (for commit changes to master data) is OLTP app. #DW or data-fed registry is sys of ref. 1,279,652,987,000.00 via TweetDeck in reply to WinstonChen

#dmjam #mdm I believe best practices are to 1) define stewardship for master data sets, 2) designate ref repos's, 3) impl gov'nance controls 1,279,652,904,000.00 via TweetDeck

#dmjam #mdm The issue of governance comes to the fore when you do #DW. Wrap strong governance controls around master & metadata in DBMS. 1,279,652,777,000.00 via TweetDeck

#dmjam #mdm #DW is not an app. It's a repository of master reference data. Not necessarily the only. 1,279,652,717,000.00 via TweetDeck

#MDM is governance of master data. #DW may be one of several repositories. OLTP federation (http://bit.ly/aiBeR3) may involve several. 1,279,652,661,000.00 via TweetDeck
