This document discusses the importance and evolution of data modeling. It argues that data modeling is critical to all architecture disciplines, not just database development, as the data model provides common definitions and vocabulary. The document reviews the history of data management from the 1950s to today, noting how data modeling was originally used primarily for database development but now has broader applications. It discusses different types of data models for different purposes, and walks through traditional "top-down" and "bottom-up" approaches to using data models for database development. The overall message is that data modeling remains important but its uses and best practices have expanded beyond its original scope.
