Description of "Figure 4-1 Data Loading and Processing Flow Overview"

In TBAML, data is loaded into the FCDM from the following data sources:

• Common Staging Area (CSA) in FSDF
• TBAML Flat File Interface

Data stored in the FCDM is then processed using processing datamaps where additional data derivations and aggregations are stored in the FCDM.

CSA

The CSA provides a single repository for data storage for multiple functional areas and applications having the Common Staging Area Model and Reporting Data Model. The Common Staging Area Model provides a simplified, unified data sourcing area for inputs required by TBAML using BDF.

Flat Files

The flat files contain data provided by the client. This data is loaded into the Financial Crime Data Model (FCDM).

FCDM

The FCDM is a database which consists of well organized business data for analysis. It determines the structured data which stores persistent information in a relational database and is specified in a data modeling language.

Datamaps

The datamaps load Business and Reference data required for event processing. It does the data derivation and aggregation after BDF loads the base tables.
