Product Information Data Model"

[ishanijerin1]

This series will focus on the theme of "data models," which are the core of Product Information Management (PIM) system implementation and construction projects. As already discussed in the downloadable document " Key Points in PIM Projects " from on-site systems engineers participating in the project, PIM data models are the most important and most difficult part of a PIM project. It is no exaggeration to say that if you can design an appropriate data model, your PIM project will be as good as successful!

In Part 1, we will explain what a product information data model is, and from Part 2 onwards, we will explain what we need to define and check specifically.

What is a Data Model?
When you hear the word "data model," the first thing that comes to mind is probably the "data model" used in database design. If you imagine a series of steps, such as expressing a conceptual features of our advertising database data model in an ER diagram, considering a logical data model that takes into account the DBMS, and then incorporating that into a physical data model, then you're probably an SE (or someone with SE experience). Only by correctly designing a "data model" can you correctly store the necessary data, so a data model is all about defining the "boxes" that are the essence of the system.

The content of this article corresponds to the "conceptual data model" part of this data model. We will consider a conceptual model by organizing what patterns there are in the things we want to express as data, what attribute information each has, and whether those patterns are related to each other.

What is the PIM Data Model?
The "data model" of PIM, the theme of this article, is basically the same as the "data model" in the database world. PIM is a system that centrally manages a company's product information and distributes it efficiently and effectively to sales channels. The PIM data model defines the "boxes" that store the products managed by this system and all information related to those products.
