Rational Data Architect is a data modeling and integration design tool designed to help data architects understand information assets, their relationships and dependencies, map assets to each other and create integration schemas. Architected for teams of any size, Rational Data Architect combines data modeling with mapping discovery and model and database analysis - all in a single, integrated tool. In addition, Rational Data Architect supports enterprise standards enforcement. Rational Data Architect uses a heterogeneous approach that facilitates federation design and is an essential tool for information integration projects. This paper describes a five-step process for federation design that will produce a federated schema.
