Dear Data People,
With the Euros and the tennis season already underway and the Olympics just around the corner, perhaps June should remind us, more than anything, to get active!
Ideally that does include getting some actual exercise in but let’s get active with our data too. Hopefully our top picks from June will inspire you to take your data projects to the next level.
Top Picks from June
FAIR
Have you thought about applying the FAIR principles to your data?
F for findable
A for accessible
I for interoperable
R for reusable
The increasing complexity and volume of data generated during production requires more rigorous data management. This piece takes a look at one interesting approach.
Dimensional Modelling
Dimensional Modelling (DM) is a method of designing databases optimised for faster data retrieval from a Data Warehouse, providing a powerful tool for users to analyse complex data and gain valuable business insights.
This article takes a deep dive and aims to describe the concepts, methods, benefits, and challenges of using dimensional modelling.
Self-Service?
What does self-service mean to you?
This article takes a good look at self-service analytics and data preparation tools and how they can enable users to access, prepare, and analyse data without needing to rely on IT experts or data scientists. They bridge the gap between raw data and actionable insights and allow business users to make informed decisions using an intuitive interface. However, implementation is not without its challenges.
