As a recent DBA turned Data Architecture Manager, I attended Enterprise Data World last week as my first real exposure to Data Architecture. Database administration, physical design, logical design and ETL (areas I was familiar with) were small parts of the bigger data picture. I was exposed to terms like data governance, data stewardship, master data management, and semantic modeling. I was looking at enterprise deployments of data virtualization strategies, graph analytics (Big Data), business communication strategies as far as project funding as well as enterprise data governance policies.
What I learned was that what I knew (or thought I knew) about data was only the tip of the iceberg of Data Architecture. I bought two books, "Data Architecture: From Zen to Reality" by Charles Tupper and "Managing Data In Motion" by April Reeve to get me started on educating myself in my new job. I can't recommend them yet, as I've just started both of them, but they seem to be more appropriate to Data Architecture rather than Database Architecture especially in a heterogeneous data environment.

Subject: Beginner Data Architecture books or websites
My new boss has decided I need training so I can become the data architect,
as well as the only DBA for 19 Oracle, 4 PostgreSQL, and 5 MongoDB
databases. I'm basically a good DBA and I know some about data
architecture, but could really use some reading material while the boss
tries to pry the money loose to get me the training. Any recommendations
for beginner?
