Talk:Data architect

Lack of references
This article has a good starting point, but it needs external reference sources to validate the information. The job title itself is still in flux. DBBell (talk) 03:08, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

As a data architect I am keen to properly define & reference the job - so please check my edit on 24 June Evert 11:40, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Noted that the reference to Bob Lampert's article is no longer valid. Found this one which may be correct http://robertlambert.net/2012/11/skills-of-the-data-architect/

Copyright issues and need for expert attention
User:RHaworth restored the article on the basis that the source may have taken the material from the Wikipedia page rather than the other way round. Having looked at it this may well be the case. If so, there is no copyvio but, also, it calls into question the recent rewrite and the use of the source. What is needed is some expert attention to further rewrite the page using clearly independent sources. I have tagged it appropriately. Just Chilling (talk) 18:32, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

"Goldensources?"
The "Responsibilities" section mentions "goldensources" twice and apart from the private company of the same name, I'm not sure what the heck it's supposed to refer to. It seems like it should be referring to a resource, perhaps a DB instance or schema...? --Bakemaster (talk) 19:48, 1 April 2016 (UTC)

It's more often called a "golden copy" and means the master copy of a data item. It's related to the idea of a single source of truth, although that is subject to interpretation, e.g. the wikipedia entry says that a single source of truth should only be referred to and never copied. Data from a golden copy source may be copied, but all updates should be made to the golden copy and not to other copies.DaveBerry (talk) 17:08, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
