Data modeling has been a data analysis and design discipline for decades, but in recent years it has become a lost art for many data teams. Attention to modeling diminished with the adoption of big data, data lakes, data pipelines, schema-on-read, and other modern data trends. Still, data modeling is a core data engineering skill—one that is deficient or missing in many data engineering teams. It is time to rediscover the lost art of data modeling. 

You Will Learn: 

• Modern uses for older techniques – relational and multi-dimensional data modeling

• Rethinking the roles of logical and physical data modeling 

• Higher levels of abstraction – conceptual and semantic data modeling 

• Sematic data models a data translators for APIs, data services, and data products
