MC	The federation pattern typically follows...	a push approach	incorrect	a pull approach	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	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	Process integration is to integrate and harmonize the various business processes in an organization as much as possible.	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	
MC	Process execution languages such as WS-BPEL aim at managing...	only the data flow.	incorrect	only the control flow.	incorrect	both the control and data flow.	correct	
MC	Which statement is CORRECT?	Enterprise Information Integration (EII) is an example of data consolidation.	incorrect	SQL is well suited to query structured collections of records as well as unstructured data such as text.	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.	correct	Process execution languages such as WS-BPEL aim at managing only the data flow.	incorrect	
MC	Which statement is NOT CORRECT?	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	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	
MC	Ideally, data integration should include...	only processes.	incorrect	only data.	incorrect	both processes and data.	correct	
MC	Ideally, data integration should include...	only data.	incorrect	both processes and data.	correct	only processes.	incorrect	
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	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	The focus of MDM is on unifying company-wide reference data types such as customers and products.	incorrect	
MC	Which statement is CORRECT?	Nowadays, we see a complete divergence of the operational and tactical/strategic data needs and of the corresponding data integration tooling.	incorrect	Enterprise Information Integration (EII) is an example of data consolidation.	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. 	correct	Enterprise Information Integration (EII) is an example of data propagation.	incorrect	
MC	Which statement is NOT CORRECT?	Analytics techniques are more and more used at the operational level as well by front-line employees.	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	Nowadays, we see a complete divergence of the operational and tactical/strategic data needs and of the corresponding data integration tooling.	correct	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
