Naming the data related skills in SFIA
The skills at a glance page provides a one-page summary of the SFIA big data/data science related skills and competency levels.
This view showa that SFIA has many data related skills and many of them have Data or Information as a prefix.
- However there are other data related skills which are not labelled with "data"
SFIA could have taken the approach to clone existing SFIA skills to make specific Data- specific versions e.g. ...
- Data architecture
- Data solution architecture
- Data solution design
- Data strategy
The reason is that SFIA's design focus is to have a sustainable and flexible approach to meet the needs of the industry as a whole. So when describing skillswe name some skills generically. This gives people and organisations the opportunity to re-use and re-purpose skills used between specialist knowledge domains.
