HI MDM Gurus,
I am a fresher to MDM and I am going through MDM100 and the excercies given at the end of each chapter. But while doing that when I come to Hierarchies and Taximonies. I am unable to understand or more confused about these terms in MDM. Can you send sample DATA or .XLS files to my mail ID kommagowri@gmail.com.
Thanks
Shankar
Points will be rewarded
Hi shankar,
Hierarchy and Taaxonomy are very much interrelated 2 each other.
<b>Hierarchy:</b>
items will be categorised under hierarchy when each item in a tree is related to its subsequent upper node via a relationship which is maintained between it's siblings.
For eg:In a Organisation when employee hierarchy is maintained like every employee is reporting to it's immediate reporting manager and thus finally ending up with CEO.
Thus CEO is the root node followed by VP's, AVP'setc..thus all the VP's from different department are siblings but have the same relationship to the CEO and so on followed in the lower level.
<b>Taxonomy:</b>
Taxonomy is the concept of grouping items as per their relationship af a attribute.
Note:Every taxonoimy is a hierarchy but not the vice-versa.
For eg.If a Company is categorised as per the project allocated then all the employees working under that project might be from different departments and dont share any relationship among themselves but are realted to the company through this project.Thus in Taxonomy unlike hierarchy the siblings may not be realted to each other.
