Abstract  


Big data and NoSQL have led to big changes In the data environment, but are they all in the best interest of data? Are they technologies that "free us from the harsh limitations of relational databases?" In this session, Karen will be answering questions like these, plus:

  • Have we managed to free organizations from having to do data modeling? 
  • Is there a need for a data modeler on NoSQL projects? If we build data models, which types will work? 
  • What are these Big Data, NoSQL and freaky new things? 
  • Why should we care? 
  • If we build data models, how will they be used? 
  • If we build data models, when will they be used? 
  • Who will use data models? 
  • Where does data quality happen? 
  • Should I just retire to my island resort? 
  • Are there NoSQL technologies for which data modeling will never apply?

 Finally, Karen will wrap with 10 tips for data modelers in organizations incorporating NoSQL in their modern data architectures.
