• For Business representatives – It is a representation of their own business, using their terminology, their business concepts;
• For Data Analysts /Data Stewards – To understand and recognize the terminology, relations and definitions/descriptions;
• For Source systems – through mapping; is the needed information (Core Business Concepts, Relations and Attribution) available in the source systems;
• For Developers – an almost 1 on 1 translation towards the desired Ensemble Modelling pattern.

Topics covered include understanding the concept behind the ELM, the modeling requirements and artifacts that drive this approach.
