Summary

In this chapter, the principles of MDM have been applied and implementation techniques exposed, not only from the architectural point of view but also with technical choices that may prove useful when constructing a data referential. The main behaviors of such server applications have been covered and their evolution in time has been described with a few examples. This should make you quite knowledgeable about how to implement your own data referential.

We will come back to the subject of MDM in Chapter 15, where we will go down to the lowest level of implementation, with actual lines of code and the design and development of two data referential implementations in C#, in order to deal with authors and with books, respectively. This will be the final piece where we will join the principles of service management and APIs learned about in Chapter 8, the domain-driven design of the entities shown in Chapter 9, and the architecture approaches described in the present chapter...
