Why is Data Integration so Difficult?

Dr Chris Harding explores the data integration context including why data is integrated, what kind of data is integrated, and he looks at the pain points and issues. In addition, Chis reviews the developments in data integration practices and technology, including Data Virtualisation, Data Fabric, Data Mesh, and Data Platforms.

As part of this presentation, Chris also touches on how The Open Group standards; TOGAF, the O-AA (Open Agile Architecture), and the DPBok (Digital Practitioners’ Body of Knowledge) can help and support architects engaged in data integration projects.
