MC	The federation pattern typically follows...	a pull approach	correct	a push approach	incorrect	
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	Data virtualization isolates applications and users from the actual (combinations of) data integration patterns used.	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	
MC	Which statement is NOT CORRECT?	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	Data virtualization isolates applications and users from the actual (combinations of) data integration patterns used.	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	Enterprise Information Integration (EII) is an example of data propagation.	correct	
MC	Which statement is NOT CORRECT?	The focus of MDM is on unifying company-wide reference data types such as customers and products.	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	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	
MC	Which statement is NOT CORRECT?	Process integration is to integrate and harmonize the various business processes in an organization as much as possible.	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	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

MC	Which statement is CORRECT?	Enterprise Information Integration (EII) is an example of data consolidation.	incorrect	Process execution languages such as WS-BPEL aim at managing only the data flow.	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). 	correct	The federation pattern typically follows a push approach.	incorrect	
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
