Data Vault Metadata Modelling with Biml

The companion walkthrough Auto Generate Data Vault using Biml shows how Biml generates a Data Vault model from source system metadata and a predefined pattern. Real Data Vault implementations rarely fit a single pattern, so the next step is to use Biml as a framework engine that an architect can customize to suit long term needs.

This webinar extends the auto-generation script to:

  • Handle business keys explicitly rather than inferring them from primary keys.
  • Split satellites by fast-changing attributes so volatile columns do not pollute slower-changing history.
  • Define metadata for flat files alongside relational sources.
  • Manually override any attribute that the metadata-driven defaults get wrong.

BimlStudio is required to test the code.
