MC	Which statement is NOT CORRECT?	Nowadays, we see a complete divergence of the operational and tactical/strategic data needs and of the corresponding data integration tooling.	correct	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 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	Analytics techniques are more and more used at the operational level as well by front-line employees.	incorrect	
MC	Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) and Enterprise Data Replication (EDR) are examples of...	data consolidation.	incorrect	data propagation.	correct	data federation.	incorrect	data virtualization.	incorrect	
MC	Ideally, data integration should include...	only data.	incorrect	only processes.	incorrect	both processes and data.	correct

MC	Which statement is CORRECT?	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	Process execution languages such as WS-BPEL aim at managing only the control flow.	incorrect	Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) and Enterprise Data Replication (EDR) are examples of data virtualization.	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.	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	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	
MC	The choreography pattern to manage sequence and data dependencies is a...	decentralized approach.	correct	centralized approach.	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	A key element in MDM is a centrally governed data model and metadata repository.	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	The focus of MDM is on unifying company-wide reference data types such as customers and products.	incorrect
