Thomas Frisendal is an experienced database professional from Denmark with more than 30 years on the IT vendor side and as an independent consultant. He has worked with databases and data modeling since the late 70s. Since 1995 he primarily worked on data warehouse projects, but today he works mostly with graph database technology. Thomas has a strong urge to visualize everything as graphs – also datamodels.
What drives him most is turning data into information and knowledge. His approach to information-driven analysis and design can be called “New Nordic” in the sense that he aims to exploit traditional Nordic ambitions such as superior quality, functionality, reliability and innovation; looking for new ways of communicating the structure and meaning of the business context. Thomas provides consulting, reviews and recommendations to data-driven projects in areas like data architecture, data modeling, metadata recycling (transform legacy data models into new), business information analysis, incl. metadata and business vocabularies and database technologies, not least graph models. He is the author of Graph Data Modeling for NoSQL and SQL.
