1. Data Mapping includes:
   
   1. descriptions of the business meaning of the data, its uses, its quality
   2. the applications that maintain it
   3. database technology in which it is stored
   4. description of the semantics of the data so that the occasional subtle differences in meaning are understood
   5. where data is maintained and accessed throughout the enterprise
   6. some data sources may be outside the enterprise but must be included in the data mapping

Groups such as the integration competency center and the data warehouse team do much of the detailed work, with the EDA identifying and coordinating reuse opportunities.
