MC	Which statement is NOT CORRECT?	The data flow perspective of a business process focusses on the inputs of the tasks (e.g., the interest rate offered depends on the credit score). 	incorrect	The focus of MDM is on unifying company-wide reference data types such as customers and products.	incorrect	Enterprise Information Integration (EII) is an example of data consolidation.	correct	The essence of data consolidation as a data integration pattern is to capture the data from multiple, heterogeneous source systems and integrate it into a single persistent store (e.g., a data warehouse or data mart). 	incorrect	
MC	Which statement is NOT CORRECT?	The federation pattern typically follows a pull approach.	incorrect	Enterprise search technologies are strongly related to standard web search products and providers (e.g., Google), but aim to offer a series of tools which can be deployed and used externally such that an organization can expose itself to the outside world.	correct	An ETL process typically induces a certain measure of latency, so the timeliness dimension may suffer, with the data being slightly out of date.	incorrect	The operational usage of business intelligence aims for a low (or even zero) latency so interesting events or trends in the data can be immediately detected and accompanied with the appropriate response.	incorrect

MC	Which statement is CORRECT?	Enterprise Information Integration (EII) is an example of data consolidation.	incorrect	Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) and Enterprise Data Replication (EDR) are examples of data virtualization.	incorrect	Analytics for tactic/strategic decision making increasingly uses real-time operational data combined with the aggregated and historical data found in more traditional data warehouses.	correct	Enterprise Information Integration (EII) is an example of data propagation.	incorrect	
MC	Which statement is NOT CORRECT?	An ETL process typically induces a certain measure of latency, so the timeliness dimension may suffer, with the data being slightly out of date.	incorrect	Besides the traditional set-up with ETL and a data warehouse, data lakes can also be considered an implementation of the consolidation pattern. 	incorrect	An important disadvantage of the consolidation approach is that it does not cater for historical data.	correct	The essence of data consolidation as a data integration pattern is to capture the data from multiple, heterogeneous source systems and integrate it into a single persistent store (e.g., a data warehouse or data mart). 	incorrect	
MC	Which statement is NOT CORRECT?	Data virtualization extensively uses data consolidation techniques such as ETL.	correct	The federation pattern typically follows a pull approach.	incorrect	The data flow perspective of a business process focusses on the inputs of the tasks (e.g., the interest rate offered depends on the credit score). 	incorrect	In many real-life contexts, a data integration exercise is an ongoing initiative within an organization, and will often combine a variety of integration strategies and approaches.	incorrect	
MC	Ideally, data integration should include...	only data.	incorrect	both processes and data.	correct	only processes.	incorrect	
MC	Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) and Enterprise Data Replication (EDR) are examples of...	data virtualization.	incorrect	data consolidation.	incorrect	data federation.	incorrect	data propagation.	correct	
MC	Which statement is NOT CORRECT?	Data virtualization isolates applications and users from the actual (combinations of) data integration patterns used.	incorrect	In many real-life contexts, a data integration exercise is an ongoing initiative within an organization, and will often combine a variety of integration strategies and approaches.	incorrect	Data virtualization extensively uses data consolidation techniques such as ETL.	correct	Contrary to a federated database as offered by basic EII, data virtualization does not impose a single data model on top of the heterogeneous data sources.	incorrect
