Metadata Flow & Life Cycle: the heart beat Forward Metadata Flow Reverse Metadata Flow The metadata movement between tools can: - preserve the model as is or include transformations (e.g. forward or reverse engineering from/to BI tools) - create and a new model, or update an existing one Legacy Migration Multi-Vendor Development Tools Design & Modeling Business Intelligence (BI) OM - Object Modeling DM - Data Modeling Data Movement & Data Integration (EAI, ETL, EII) Dimensional Modeling Report Authoring Metadata inside Operational Data Stores & Data Warehouses Flat File Structures XML Schema or DTD RDBMS Schema / DDL OLAP metadata Metadata Integration Vendor Panel Page 2

Metadata Merging Metadata Integration Strategies - The classic one version of the truth that drove so many repositories - Metadata is merged as side effect of the metadata import into the repository. - The target of the ETL is merged with source of the BI for one version of the truth Metadata Stitching Informatica PowerCenter XSD TRF Ascential DataStage REL TRF CA AllFusion ERwin ERA TRF REL BO Universe TRF DIM Cognos ReportNet TRF DIM - Each tool has its own version / interpretation of the truth for each metadata store. - Metadata is integrated as a stitching (post) process which is independent of the metadata acquisition process. Informatica PowerCenter - A data flow Configuration integrates (stitches) together a set of Versions of data stores XSD TRF REL and data processes like ETL, EII, BI, etc. - Leads to metadata Version & Configuration Management for metadata life cycle management / change management, and for metadata lineage & Impact Analysis Ascential DataStage REL TRF REL CA AllFusion ERwin ERA TRF REL BO Universe REL TRF DIM Cognos ReportNet REL TRF DIM Metadata Integration Vendor Panel Page 7

What level of Metadata support to expect from these vendors? Shall your next modeling tool, EAI, ETL, EII design tool, or metadata repository provide: More Metadata Integration between tools? for better integrated single vendor total solution for better integrated multi-vendor best of breed solution Better integrated Metadata Version & Configuration Management? New Metadata Lineage & Impact Analysis? More support for Metadata Standards? More Metadata tools? Metadata comparators, mappers, integrators? Metadata Integration Vendor Panel Page 10

Cognos Metadata for Performance Management Rachel Bland (Product Manager, Metadata and Modeling) What drives Metadata in the Performance Management space? Rate of adoption of any concept or technology is driven by customer pain points and value: Data storage Where does the data come from? Data access Where does the data go? Reporting and Analysis What does the data mean? Performance Management How do we use the data to run our business better? Metadata is the glue that ties together the information acquired during all of these phases of building an IT infrastructure. Metadata Integration Vendor Panel Page 23

Cognos Metadata for Performance Management Rachel Bland (Product Manager, Metadata and Modeling) Integration, Versioning & Configuration Metadata Integration between tools: Diverse purposes: Administrative metadata: physical source schemas, transformations etc Semantic and Administrative metadata for power users. Business metadata: semantic naming, calculation formulae, filters Different scope for different system architectures: Leverage existing technology investments across diverse vendors. Leverage single-vendor investments Metadata Version & Configuration Management Lifecycle is the key Volatility of metadata differs throughout the tiers of a solution. 2 pronged approach: Methodology and Technology MetaIntegration plays a key role by enabling us to better integrate with our partners.

Cognos Metadata for Performance Management Rachel Bland (Product Manager, Metadata and Modeling) Lineage and Impact Analysis Separate but Intertwined Lineage - means different things to different groups Finance Legislative standards compliance Who changed what/knew what and when? Power User Which data from which source? Timeliness - how latent is the data? Quality does this data match that data why/why not? Business user analysis What does this data mean? What is the difference between unit_price and unit_sale_price? Where is this list of products sourced from? Sales system? Inventory? Who is the steward of this data (MDM) Impact Analysis Finance uses lineage to determine upstream impact Power User When my data changes or refreshes or is merged how does this impact my consumers? Has the meaning changed? Is a report broken? Business user is this report valid, is the data up to date Metadata Integration Vendor Panel Page 25
