Data architecture is the discipline of designing the structures, models, and standards that govern how data is collected, stored, integrated, and used across an organization's systems. Data architects define schemas, databases, and data flows to ensure consistency, scalability, and alignment with business needs. This role bridges business strategy and technical implementation, often working closely with data engineers and database administrators.
