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typically induces a certain measure of latency, so the timeliness dimension may suffer, with the data being slightly out of date.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	Analytics techniques are more and more used at the operational level as well by front-line employees.	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	Process execution languages such as WS-BPEL aim at managing only the control flow.	correct	
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	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	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	Process integration is to integrate and harmonize the various business processes in an organization as much as possible.	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	Besides the traditional set-up with ETL and a data warehouse, data lakes can also be considered an implementation of the consolidation pattern. 	incorrect	The federation pattern typically follows a push approach.	correct	Analytics techniques are more and more used at the operational level as well by front-line employees.	incorrect	
MC	Which statement is NOT CORRECT?	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	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	
MC	The federation pattern typically follows...	a pull approach	correct	a push approach	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	Data virtualization extensively uses data consolidation techniques such as ETL.	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	Data virtualization isolates applications and users from the actual (combinations of) data integration patterns used.	incorrect
