3D Principles

These principles describe constraints that enterprise systems must satisfy in order to exchange data natively.

Core Data Models

Enterprise systems should start from a common set of foundational data models designed to be extended to meet the needs of individual business units.

Globally Unique Primary Keys

Every record must be uniquely identifiable across systems without coordination.

Record Governance

It must always be clear which system is authoritative for any given record.

Data Transfer

Data exchange must be designed as a native capability, not an afterthought.

Data Driven

Systems should derive behavior from meta data rather than hard-coded logic.
