Data Integration: Moving Beyond ETL
A sponsored white-paper by DataFlux, www.dataflux.com.
Where ETL = Extract Transform Load
Many of the arguments made in this paper fit quite easily with topic map solutions.
DataFlux appears to be selling data governance based solutions, although it appears to take an evolutionary approach to implementing such solutions.
It occurs to me that topic maps could be one stage in the documentation and evolution of data governance solutions.
High marks for a white paper that doesn’t claim IT salvation from a particular approach.
