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 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 Genesee Academy materials, Data Vault & Ensemble Modeling, the Data Vault Pillars (below) and also in a manner 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

3. Satellites contain all descriptive attributes (all context, details) and all History (time slice values)

4. Data Vault Hubs contain no Foreign Keys

5. Satellites contain one-and-only-one Foreign Key (for the Hub to which it is attached)

6. All relationships represented in a Data Vault are manifest through Link Tables

7. Satellites can attach directly to one-and-only-one Hub

8. Data Vault Hubs and Links all use a Sequence ID for a primary key

​
