Modeling Data
Models define the business meaning of the source data. They describe the concepts, attributes, and relationships in or across data sets. Instead of reflecting the format or schema of the source data, models reflect the desired structure of the data after it is onboarded to Anzo. Anzo links data to models to provide flexibility for capturing data coming from various sources and structures and to enable users to search for and visualize data in Hi-Res Analytics dashboards or other applications.
Users can import existing or external models (OWL ontologies) to Anzo, and models can be shared and reused. The topics in this section provide introductory information about data model terminology, describe model requirements and recommendations, and include instructions for creating and editing models.
