MLOps Coffee Sessions #117 with Chad Sanderson, Head of Product, Data Platform at Convoy, Data Engineering for ML co-hosted by Josh Wills.
// Abstract
Data modeling is building relationships between core concepts within your data. The physical data model shows how the relationships manifest in your data environment but then there's the semantic data model, the way that entity relationship design is extracted away from any data-centric implementation.
Let's do the good old fun of talking about why data modeling is so important!
