1. The unified way to classify any thing Classification Scheme MDM by Data Owner & Data Steward guidebookNovember 2011 – V1

2. Welcome to Classification scheme MDM • Numerous things have to be classified through various criteria • Rather than devising specific data model per classification a generic way must be enforced • You are interested in the Classification scheme MDM to benefit from a unified data model collecting any type of classification for any type of thing All screens and behaviors shown in this presentation are automatically generated by the MDM Cloud from the data model This high-end mechanism is also known as a Model-driven MDM Now let us show you how we can help

3. Criteria Criteria Criteria Criteria Criteria Criteria Criteria Criteria Criteria Criteria Thing Thing Thing Thing Classification scheme mechanism (1/2) role role role Things classification through criteria Things classificationthrough roles +

4. Classification scheme mechanism (2/2) Classification type 1 • A thing can be classified within many types of classification • Eg. business units, marketing territories, financial structures, living things, etc. Classification type 2

5. Semantic data model

6. Type of classification • Three samples of classification are provided in the repository on the MDM Cloud • You can easily add your own classifications Classification of Dinosaurs Classification of Flowering Plants Classification of Learning Domains Source: http://www.factmonster.com/dk/science/dinosaurs/classification.html Source: http://theseedsite.co.uk/class2.html Source: http://www.nwlink.com/~donclark/hrd/bloom.html

7. Homo Sapiens Genus Homo ../.. ../.. Type of relationship • This table allows for declaring semantic used to define relationships between criteria and things • Examples: • Chimpanzee species Ancestor Australopithecines • Australopithecines Ancestor Genus Homo • Genus Homo Ancestor Homo Sapiens • Chimpanzee is classified in Chimpanzee species • Human is classified in Homo Sapiens • Human Predator Chimpanzee • Banana Food Chimpanzee • Banana Food Human • Chimpanzee Food Human Food is classified Chimpanzee species Banana Chimpanzee ancestor Food Predator Australopithecines Human Food ancestor is classified + Things classification through criterion Things classification through roles

8. Criteria Criteria naming To complement with this tabular view you may use data views (see next)

9. Data views applied to criteria Behind the scene these data views are computed automatically by introspecting FK between tables. See also the next slide ‘Relationship between criteria’ to fully understand this model-driven mechanism View criteria by type of classification 2. View leaf to root 1. View root to leaf

10. Relationship between criteria Grammar to define relationships between criteria To complement with this tabular view you may use data views (see next)

11. Data views applied to criteria relationships View criteria relationships by type of classification 1. View by main way 2. View by reversed way

12. Thing Thing naming Predefined types of thing applied to the three samples brought by default To complement with this tabular view you may use data views (see next)

13. Data views applied to things View things by type of classification 1. View root to leaf Red = thing Blue = classification scheme

14. Look up a thing and find out its classification (1/3) Looking for the ‘triceratops’ dinosaur

15. Look up a thing and find out its classification (2/3) By enforcing the data hierarchy view the classification of the Triceratops is automatically displayed

16. Look up a thing and find out its classification (3/3) RECAP 1 1 2 2 3 3 Source: http://www.factmonster.com/dk/science/dinosaurs/classification.html

17. Classification assignment Every thing is attached to one or many criteria within one or many types of classification View assignments by type of classification

18. Relationship between things Use this grammar to declare relationship between things. Here is a very simple example To complement with this tabular view you may use data views (see next)

19. Data views applied to relationship between thing (1/3) 2. Reversed roles held by a thing towards others Red = role Blue = things involved in role 1. Roles held by a thing towards others

20. Data views applied to relationship between thing (2/3) RECAP 1 2 Field Bindweed flower 2 Predator 1 Consumer Source: http://theseedsite.co.uk/class2.html Source: http://www.factmonster.com/dk/science/dinosaurs/classification.html

21. Data views applied to relationship between thing (3/3) 3 3 2 1 2 1 Launch the data hierarchy view which displays the classification of the Field Bindweed plant

22. Reminder to use data hierarchy views Use this operation to withdraw all open views and then back to the basic tabular view
