Abstract

The highly integrated data and application architectures being deployed by many organizations today have created a growing need for integrated data management. As common data is now shared throughout distributed applications rather than maintained in silos, it is critical that the definition, structure, and usage of the data be uniformly understood and applied, to enable the free exchange of information across systems. The process of moving toward this state and then maintaining new, integrated systems results in new information needs within projects, departments, and the enterprise. Just as corporate data must flow freely through software systems, business success often requires that these other types of information must stream through the organization, unimpeded by organizational boundaries and legacy practices. Some of these information streams are highly visible. Others are hidden, underground flows that represent established networks of people, ad-hoc functions, and informal quality stewards. Still others are new to all involved, representing the connections between pools of knowledge that are all essential to an integration project.

当今软件项目中隐藏的信息流

如今，许多组织正在部署高度集成的数据和应用程序体系结构，这使得对集成数据管理的需求不断增长。由于公共数据现在在整个分布式应用程序中共享，而不是在竖井中维护，因此统一理解和应用数据的定义、结构和使用，以实现跨系统的信息自由交换，这一点至关重要。向这种状态移动，然后维护新的集成系统的过程会在项目、部门和企业中产生新的信息需求。正如公司数据必须在软件系统中自由流动一样，业务成功通常要求这些其他类型的信息必须在组织中流动，不受组织边界和遗留实践的阻碍。其中一些信息流是高度可见的。另一些则是隐藏的地下流动，代表着已建立的人际网络、特殊功能和非正式的质量管理人员。还有一些对所有相关人员来说都是新的，它们代表了对集成项目至关重要的知识池之间的连接。
