		<title><![CDATA[Extend IBM InfoSphere Data Architect to meet your specific data
                modeling and integration requirements, Part 1: Modifying IDA models and customizing properties]]></title> 
		<description><![CDATA[IBM InfoSphere Data Architect (IDA) (formerly Rational Data
            Architect) is gaining momentum as a comprehensive tool that helps
            organizations promote a thorough understanding of their enterprise information
            architecture. As more people use IDA, there&apos;s an increasing need for some
            customers to extend IDA to meet their unique data modeling and integration
            requirements. This two-part series shows you how to extend IDA&apos;s models,
            properties view, model reports and validation rules. In Part 1, learn how to
            programmatically traverse and modify IDA models and how to add and display
            custom properties. [IDA Version 7.5 has adapted Data Tools
            Project (DTP) to replace Web Tools Project (WTP).
            Because IDA uses the SQL model defined in DTP as the basis of its metamodels,
            the section &quot;Programmatically traverse and modify RDA logical data model and
            physical data model,&quot; as well as the sample code provided with the
            article, were updated.--Ed.]]]></description>

            was updated to reflect that the GUI for BIRT report 
            customization has been changed for performance improvement. This is shown in
            the section that describes how to generate customized model reports using BIRT.--Ed.]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Use Rational Data Architect to define data mappings. When working with large schemas, 
		it can be very cumbersome to manually create mappings. Rational Data Architect offers a discovery component
		to semi-automatically identify potential mappings. This tutorial provides an introduction to the relationship discovery component of Rational Data Architect.]]></description>

		<title><![CDATA[Rational Data Architect skills series, Part 1: Access and integrate enterprise metadata with Rational Data Architect]]></title> 
		<description><![CDATA[IBM Rational Data Architect (Data Architect) works with WebSphere Information Integrator to give data architects and application developers the ability to discover, model, visualize, relate, and develop data assets across distributed and diverse data sources. In this tutorial, you follow a simple scenario to learn how Rational Data Architect can be used to provide a modeling and design tool to create a unified, virtual view across heterogeneous data sources.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Discover the key concepts of the Service Data Objects (SDO) architecture and the power and flexibility it provides. SDO architecture is gaining wide popularity among the Java(TM) 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) community and architecting Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) environments. It addresses the need for heterogeneous data integration in a world where IT solutions are becoming more complex and distributed.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In this article, explore obstacles that data architects often experience and learn
    strategies to work beyond them.  Build from small successes
      that begin with bridging departmental application data models to creating full enterprise integration
      projects.  These approaches can also be applied to other types of software
      architecture, to enable your IT team to more efficiently handle changing requirements and IT
      approaches.]]></description>

		<title><![CDATA[Integrating Rational Software Architect with Rational Data Architect]]></title> 
		<description><![CDATA[Model-driven software development generally starts with either application
  modeling or data modeling. Application modeling and data modeling, however, are closely
  related to, and complement, one another. IBM has recognized the importance of
  integrating application modeling with data modeling in model-driven software
  development, and has developed the Unified Modeling Language (UML)-to-Logical Data
  Model (LDM)  and the LDM-to-UML transformations.  These transformations integrate
  application modeling using Rational Software Architect (RSA) and data modeling using
  Rational Data Architect (RDA). This article provides a quick overview of RSA and RDA,
  outlines the high-level steps in three RSA-RDA integration scenarios, and discusses the
  UML-to-LDM and the LDM-to-UML transformations and the UML Logical Data Model Profile. [2009 Apr 17: Added note about Rational Data Architect changing product
