I had the honor to moderate the Data Architecture panel at the 2021 Knowledge Graph Conference. The panelist were: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Zhamak Dehghani<\/a>, Director of Emerging Technologies at ThoughtWorks and the founder of Data Mesh<\/a> concept
– Teresa Tung<\/a>, Chief Technologist of Accenture\u2019s Cloud First group
– Jay Yu<\/a>, Distinguished Architect and Director, Enterprise Architecture and Technology Futures Group at Intuit<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This panel was special edition of the Catalog and Cocktails podcast<\/a> that I host, an honest, no-bs, non-salesy conversation about enterprise data management. We will be releasing the panel as a podcast episode soon, so stay tuned!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the meantime, these are my takeaways from the panel:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the incentives? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

– Need to understand the incentives for every business unit.
– Consider the common good of the whole, instead of individualism
– Example of incentive: put OKRs and bonus on the shareability and growth of the users of your data products<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Knowledge Graph and Data Mesh<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

– Knowledge Graph is an evolution of master data management.
– Data Mesh is an evolution of data lake.
– Knowledge Graph and Data Mesh complement each other. They need to go together.
– However, we still need to figure out how to put them together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Centralization vs Decentralization<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This was the controversial part of the discussion.
– Jay’s position is that the ultimate goal is to unified data and decentralized ownership of domain is a step in that direction. Zhamak and Teresa do not fully agree.
– Intuit’s approach: There are things that should be fix (can\u2019t change, i.e. address), flexible (ability to extend) and customize (if you need to hit the ground running)
– Is the goal to unify data or have unifiable data?
– Centralization and Decentralization: sides of the same coin
– Centralize within a same line of business that is trying to solve the same problem. But can\u2019t expect to follow all the new demands of data in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

– Need to have an answer to “what\u2019s in for me?” question. See incentives takeaway.
– Consider Maslow’s hierarchy of needs
– Be bold, challenge the status quo
– Follow the playbook on change management<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Honest, no-bs: What is a Data Product?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

– Native data products which are close to the raw data. Intelligent data products which are derived from the native data products
– A data product is complete, clean, documented, with knowledge about the data, explanation on how people can use it, understand the freshness, lineage, useful
– If you find something wrong with the data product, you need to have ways of providing feedback.
– Data Products needs to have usability characteristics.
– Data has a Heartbeat: it needs to be alive. The code keeps the data alive. Code and data need to be together. Otherwise it’s like the body separated from the soul. (Beautifully said Zhamak!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
