Many thanks to Len Silverston and Paul Agnew for their participation in yesterday's seminar, Universal Patterns: How They Can Help You Develop Your HR Data Model. A screencast of the webinar is in production, but in the mean time, you can browse and download the slides that were presented using the embed below.

A well-conceived data model is a necessary foundation for any service oriented architecture (SOA). Architects looking for proven data model templates and best practices will find few resources more valuable than the The Data Model Resource Book series. In the recently published third volume (Universal Patterns for Data Modeling), data modeling experts Len Silverston and Paul Agnew, examine the recurring patterns that are essential for architects to understand in building and maintaining enterprise data models.

In this month's Webinar, we are fortunate to have Len and Paul join us to review their latest book and comment on the applicability of "universal patterns" to human resource data models.
