Book excerpt: The Business Object Modelling (BOM) workbook treats the approach used to create and manage the BIAN Reference Data Architecture for the Financial Industry. It treats the added value this model can provide for the Financial Industry and its service providers. However, the applicability of the approach used by BIAN to create and manage its Reference Data Architecture, and the added value of such “enterprise data model”, is not limited to BIAN and the financial industry. The workbook treats the Business Object Modeling Approach and the creation, management and application of an enterprise data model in general, using BIAN as an example. After a short introduction of the general design principles and elements of BIAN’s Reference Architecture for the Financial Industry, the workbook focuses on the Business Object Modeling approach, used to create an enterprise data model, of which the BIAN Business Object Model (BIAN BOM) is one example. The Business Object Modeling approach and its Patterns is explained, illustrated by examples and exercises. This approach supports information analysis and data modeling in general, and is well suited for a step-by-step elaboration of an enterprise data model (such as the BIAN BOM). BIAN’s documentation approach, using the ArchiMate and UML languages, is explained. This approach is used to represent The BIAN BOM and manage it as an “enterprise data model” – BIAN’s Reference Data Architecture for the Financial Industry. Understanding BIAN’s documentation conventions helps the reader in exploiting BIAN’s data-related deliverables and can inspire the elaboration of a documenation approach to manage an organization’s own enterprise data model. The last part of the workbook treats the application of the Business Object Modeling approach and the BIAN BOM – or an organization’s enterprise data model, in general. They can support information analysis and data design as well as Information Governance and Enterprise Data Architecture. They can facilitate the cooperation with partners and service providers. The Business Object Modelling (BOM) workbook accompanies the BIAN Data Architecture & Design Specialist training.
