Hey, so I guess I’d like to give some context and get a feel for what other people are doing. These are the “denominations” of data people that I know about. Feel free to add.
- Inmon - Bill Inmon
- Data Vault 2.0 - Dan Linstedt
- Kimball - Ralph Kimball
- Functional Kimball - Maxime Beauchemin
- Agile Kimball - Lawrence Corr
- Denormalised Tables
My org is looking at a green fields implementation so, I’m pretty attracted to Maximes Functional Kimball approach, but I hear lots of merit in just making wide tables.
The challenge with wide data is that its challenging to contextualise a 500 column wide table properly and there is no recognised “denomination” that I can train my analysts in a consistent fashion and recruit already skilled applicants. I don’t want to advertise for a “data munger”…
