Better Data Modeling: What is #DataVault 2.0 and Why do I care?
Have you heard?
Dan Linstedt has just had his new book published on Data Vault 2.0. It is called Building a Scalable Data Warehouse with Data Vault 2.0. If you are at all into data warehousing and agile design, you need to get this book now. So click here and be done.
For those of you not sure what this DV 2.0 stuff is all about and why you might want to learn about it, I recently did a series of guest posts for Vertabelo to introduce folks to the concepts. In the series I walk you through some of the history of Data Vault and why we need a new way to do data warehousing. Then I get into the basics of modeling the Data Vault, the Business Vault, and finally building Information Marts from a Data Vault.
So you can find the posts here:
– Data Vault 2.0 Modeling Basics
– Building an Information Mart with Your Data Vault
Once you have read these, I am sure you will want to go buy the new Data Vault 2.0 book and maybe sign up for some online training on DataVaultAlliance.com.
Model on!

P.S. If you want to catch up, you can still purchase the original Data Vault (1.0) modeling book Super Charge Your Data Warehouse. It is a great reference book to have on hand (you can get it on Kindle too). Might as well have the whole set.
P.P.S. I turned this series into a Kindle ebook for easier reference, you can find it on my Author Profile or just click on the book cover in the right side bar above.

Hi Kent,
I noticed the link to #1 “Agile Modeling: Not an Option Anymore” is going to a page that no longer exists.
Can you provide a new path for that article?
Thanks.

Sorry about that Ken but it looks like the vendor took that post down (but left the other three?). It was over eight years ago so go figure! So unfortunately, that is beyond my control. While I have spoken on the topic many times over the years (including most podcasts I do these days), I do not appear to have any written posts that would substitute for that one. The best I can suggest is taking a look at my Intro to Agile Data Engineering book which is a compilation and extended update of those posts.
FYI – I have removed the reference to the missing article from the post, and fixed a few other links that were broken as well.
