Let’s play a word association game. When I say “Architect” you say, what? “Buildings… Cities… Sky scrapers…?” How about “Data”?

More and more professionals who work with data are starting to see themselves as architects.  A quick look in the dictionary shows that the title ‘architect’ is aligned with the design of physical structures. However, a closer look into what it takes to ‘design’ highlights the similar processes involved whether the medium is bricks and mortar or data.
