Is Logical Data Model in Collibra a Pure Logical model or it is just used for grouping CDE(Critical Data elements)?

Thanks in our use case ,we don’t have Business Glossary created which holds the business term mapping to physical column. Its a lot of work and something which cannot have a definite timeline.

Hence I want to know can we implement a logical data model which will hold CDE of all the apps by grouping them based on our data domains. . This solution will offer

1. Centralized diagram view of CDEs and their presence in various Applications( PDDs)
2. Lot of Manual work to collect , map and enter in the Collibra template to upload .
3. Will be able to do data governance using the logical layer by assigning ownership .

Let me know what you think .

If you don’t have a business glossary as the foundation for your logical / canonical / information model, your chances of success are very slim, indeed. Without it, you will be hard pressed to correctly identify the data in the different systems to see if it maps to your logical model. Everyone will be guessing without clear, unambiguous business terms. If you’re focused on items that are typically CDEs, it’s even more important to have the glossary definitions - think about how many different perspectives there are on customer, product, prospect, revenue, etc.
