Data Catalog Technical Definition Best Practices

Technical Definition Best Practices

• For each technical definition, you must associate each with one of Hamilton College’s data systems, such as Colleague, Workday, Slate, Marketo, Snowflake, etc. 
• Provide information on how the data is retrieved or calculated.
• If needed, make sure that the relationship to time is included in the definition.
• An optional attribute, Time Context, determines if the technical definition has any time sensitivity. Options are:
  • Academic Term Related
  • As of a Given Date/Time
  • As of Current Data/Time
  • Financial Aid Year Related
  • Fiscal Year Related
  • Not Time Sensitive
