Data Architecture combines the project requirements and source data documentation to design an architecture that is the blueprint for developing the final product. OnApproach designs dimensional data models that divide data into facts (measurements) and dimensions (information related to the measurements). An example of a fact is a dollar purchase amount. Dimensions relating to this fact might be store location, date, customer, and product. Dimensional models are typically called “star schemas” due to the format of the dimensions being the points of a star arrayed around the facts in the center.
