Part 2 of this series focuses on various data modeling approaches and techniques, which play a vital role in designing and structuring data models. These methods help organizations gain valuable insights from their data. The text discusses top-down and bottom-up approaches to data modeling, as well as conceptual, logical, and physical data models. It also covers different data modeling techniques such as dimensional modeling, data vault modeling, and more. Additionally, the text addresses common challenges faced in data modeling and how to mitigate them. By understanding these approaches and techniques, data engineers can better navigate the complexities of data modeling and design systems that cater to their organization's specific needs and goals.
