Learned something new: Data fabric. Comes from this article, Data Fabrics: The Killer Use Case for Knowledge Graphs. That article defines data fabric as:
"A Data Fabric is (a data management architecture that) orchestrates disparate data sources intelligently and securely in a self-service and automated manner, leveraging data platforms such as data lakes, Hadoop, Spark, in-memory, data warehouse, and NoSQL to deliver a unified, trusted, and comprehensive real-time view of customer and business data across the enterprise."
Seems like that might work for financial accounting, reporting, and audit information also although that might already be included in the "business data".
So, why limit this to "the enterprise". The definitions the article has for knowledge graph does the same thing. Why can't a data fabric be for an entire supply chain???
For example, it seems that all the XBRL-based reports plus their supporting XBRL taxonomies (models) submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission constitute a data fabric.
Personally, seems like this should be called an "information fabric" or a "knowledge fabric".
