1. Business Information Modeling: Connecting and describing data across domains
2. Business Data Architecture: Charting data flow across business processes and systems
3. Reference Data Capability: Providing standards for use in information models and workflows.
4. Data Catalog: Central location to find data assets data models and related governance information

The R&D Data Expert role will be responsible for the vision and delivery of the Business Information Modeling and Business Data Architecture capabilities while closely collaborating with Reference Data Standards and Data Catalog. The domain scope of the role is R&D with an initial focus on Research and Preclinical.
