With this week’s episode of Data Vault Friday, our CEO, Michael Olschimke, turns his attention to an insightful question about the use of a Hierarchical Link:
“Can you please explain in detail the hierarchical link using an example (different from the Bill of Material one, please)?”
In response to this discerning inquiry, Michael embarks on a comprehensive exploration of the concept of hierarchical links within the Data Vault framework. Drawing upon his extensive expertise, he elucidates the intricacies of modeling hierarchical links by presenting a distinctive example, distinct from the conventional Bill of Material scenario.
Through this elucidation, Michael aims to demystify the complexities surrounding hierarchical links, providing the audience with a practical and nuanced understanding of their application in diverse contexts. His commitment to delivering insightful explanations reflects the ethos of our Data Vault Friday series, which strives to empower data professionals with valuable knowledge.
