MC	Which statement is NOT CORRECT?	Master Data Management (MDM) compromises a series of processes, policies, standards, and tools to help organizations to define and provide multiple points of reference for all data that is "mastered". 	correct	The focus of MDM is on unifying company-wide reference data types such as customers and products.	incorrect	A key element in MDM is a centrally governed data model and metadata repository.	incorrect	Setting up an MDM initiative involves a large number of steps and tools, including data source identification, mapping out the systems architecture, constructing data transformation, cleansing and normalization rules, providing data storage capabilities, monitoring and governance facilities, and so on. 	incorrect	
MC	Which statement is NOT 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	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	Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) and Enterprise Data Replication (EDR) are examples of data propagation.	incorrect	An important disadvantage of the consolidation approach is that it does not cater for historical data.	correct	
MC	Ideally, data integration should include...	only processes.	incorrect	only data.	incorrect	both processes and data.	correct	
MC	Process execution languages such as WS-BPEL aim at managing...	both the control and data flow.	correct	only the control flow.	incorrect	only the data flow.	incorrect	
MC	Which statement is CORRECT?	Process execution languages such as WS-BPEL aim at managing only the data flow.	incorrect	Process integration is to integrate and harmonize the various business processes in an organization as much as possible.	correct	An important disadvantage of the consolidation approach is that it does not cater for historical data.	incorrect	It makes no sense to look at HTML markup when calculating the weight of a term to a page for web search. 	incorrect	
MC	The choreography pattern to manage sequence and data dependencies is a...	centralized approach.	incorrect	decentralized approach.	correct	
MC	Which statement is NOT CORRECT?	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	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	Data virtualization extensively uses data consolidation techniques such as ETL.	correct	Data virtualization isolates applications and users from the actual (combinations of) data integration patterns used.	incorrect	
MC	Which statement is NOT CORRECT?	The control flow perspective of a business process specifies the correct sequencing of tasks (e.g., a loan offer can only be made when the credit score has been calculated). 	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 a service oriented context, there is a tendency to physically integrate services with the purpose of task coordination with services that perform the actual task execution and services that provide access to the necessary data.	correct	Process integration is to integrate and harmonize the various business processes in an organization as much as possible.	incorrect	
MC	Enterprise Information Integration (EII) is an example of...	data replication.	incorrect	data propagation.	incorrect	data consolidation.	incorrect	data integration.	correct	
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	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.	incorrect	The choreography pattern to manage sequence and data dependencies is a centralized approach.	correct	Besides the traditional set-up with ETL and a data warehouse, data lakes can also be considered an implementation of the consolidation pattern. 	incorrect
