These range from client-side database drivers, (custom) functions and procedures, and APIs to streaming middleware and finally ETL (extract, transform, load) tools. For each of these, you’ll be provided with a technical architecture sufficient to give direction and further pointers so that you can tackle implementation confidently.

Towards a Data Fabric

Data fabrics are a general-purpose, organization-wide data access layer that offers a connected view of the data in the underlying systems. A data fabric abstracts away details of how data is accessed in third-party systems and allows your users to access that data transparently via the knowledge graph. When supporting a knowledge graph, the data fabric provides an enterprise-wide index over systems so that relevant data can be consumed as a dependable layer of master data with golden records for important entities like customers, products, and events.
