The different components of the end-state data architecture are as follows:

Text—the text that belongs to the corporation that is worthy of inclusion into the end state

Textual ETL—the process that transforms text into a standard database format

The data warehouse—the place where the corporate single version of the truth resides

The data vault—the component of the data warehouse where rigorous data governance can be done
