13 Preface Keeping your skills current in today's world is becoming increasingly challenging. There are too many new technologies being developed, and little time to learn them all. The DB2® on Campus Book Series has been developed to minimize the time and effort required to learn many of these new technologies. Who should read this book? This book is intended for anyone who needs to learn the fundamentals of data modeling using IBM InfoSphere® Data Architect, an Eclipse-based tool that can help you create data models for various data servers. By using the IBM InfoSphere Data Architect interface, you can design and deploy data models to a number of environments, and you can even integrate it with other Eclipse-based products. How is this book structured? The book is structured as follows: • Chapter 1 introduces you to IBM InfoSphere Data Architect and gets you up and running with the InfoSphere Data Architect workbench (user interface). • Chapter 2 introduces you to the basic concepts of data modeling and the project that you will complete as you work through the exercises in the book. • Chapters 3, 4, and 5 walk you through the data modeling process: • Chapter 3 teaches you about logical data modeling, and it shows you how to start creating your data models. You learn about entities, attributes, relationships, glossary models, and naming standards. • Chapter 4 helps you get familiar with domain models. In particular, you will learn how to create unique data types that can help you specify what data should be masked to keep personal information private. • Chapter 5 introduces you to physical data modeling. In this chapter, you transform your existing logical data model into a new physical data model, which you will then use to generate a DDL script that you can use to actually deploy the data model. • Chapters 6, 7, 8, and 9 acquaint you with the iterative design process: • Chapter 6 walks you through the process of creating reports within IBM InfoSphere Data Architect. You learn how to draft both BIRT and XSLT reports to share with your larger data modeling team. • Chapter 7 describes how reverse-engineering works within the workbench. You learn how to create physical data models from DDL scripts and use
