Conceptual architecture overview
The goal of this chapter is to do the following:
- Define the contents of the conceptual architecture and illustrate it
- Provide the best practices for that illustration and how that could be rendered in a way to make it effective for stakeholder communications
- Provide best practices for future-proofing the architecture, with an emphasis on the dataflows and blueprints for a data factory/data pipeline approach to curated data delivery
The three goals for this chapter will align with subsequent chapter elaborations for the logical and physical architectures of a reference solution.
