Data modeling has long been regarded as the most effective approach to comprehend complex agency data sources and to automate the design of standards and integrity rules. In recent years, the role of data modeling has evolved to become the central point of collaboration among data generators, stewards, and consumers. This is since data modeling is the most reliable method for visualizing metadata, which has become the cornerstone of federal enterprise data management, as well as data governance and intelligence initiatives. As a result, data modeling has become increasingly essential for organizations to effectively manage, govern, and leverage their data assets.
