Welcome To Genesee Academy, World Class Training, Data Vault Modeling

Certifications are earned by attending our classes. We list only those consultants names and companies who have earned certification and wish to have their public information displayed here. There are certified individuals and employees who have opted to not be publicly listed.

Further, all persons listed in this section have agreed to communicate clearly to all customers and partners (and other parties) the core fundamentals of the Data Vault in a manner consistent with Dan Linstedt's Data Vault Modeling Approach (including the Data Vault Pillars), consistent with the Data Vault Manifesto, and consistent with the Bill Inmon DW2.0 definitions of the data warehouse and the EDW.

To confirm that your model is compliant with these and other related best practices, please contact us directly to review and assess your Data Vault data model.
The Data Vault Pillars include:

1. Data Vault Models are built entirely upon Hubs, Links and Satellites
2. Data Vault Hubs and Links contain no descriptive attributes; Satellites contain all descriptive attributes
3. Data Vault Hubs contain no Foreign Keys and Satellites contain one-and-only-one Foreign Key
4. All relationships represented in a Data Vault are manifest through Link Tables; Satellites can attach directly to one-and-only-one Hub or Link
5. Data Vault Hubs and Links all use a Sequence ID for a primary key
