Data Modeling and Data Management
in a SOA Environment Seminar
Tom Haughey
February 8 , 2010
Crowne Plaza Hotel, Clark, NJ

This one day interactive seminar addresses the critical issues data and information management professionals will encounter in a SOA environment. It will define the five layers of SOA and the data management skills, methods and models essential to each layer. It addresses the following key questions:

How and why data modeling is different in a SOA environment?
Does the level of granularity of the data have to be adjusted for SOA?
Can data itself be considered a "service" under SOA?
What do you do about existing databases?
Are there issues with data that is too highly abstracted?
What is a canonical model and why is one needed?
How do you convert from an ER model to XML?
What role does process modeling play in SOA?
What is an event-driven architecture and is it relevant to SOA?
What are services exactly and how granular should services be?
How important are standards?
How does SOA alter data warehousing?
How does Master Data Management fit within SOA?
How can organizations benefit from integrating the data warehouse within the SOA environment?
Can SOA simplify delivery of business intelligence?
What governance is necessary with SOA?
