Exam DMF topic 1 question 12 discussion

Data flows describe how data moves between systems, processes, and entities. A two-dimensional matrix is often used to represent the interaction between data entities and business processes to show how data is used and transferred within an organization.

A. Data users and business processes → Not the primary representation of data flow; focuses on roles rather than data movement. B. Data entities and business processes → Correct, as data flow diagrams often track how data entities interact with business processes. C. Data facts and data dimensions → Related to data warehousing, not general data flows. D. Data entities and data quality → Quality assessment is a separate aspect from flow representation. E. Data users and data consumers → Too vague; users and consumers often overlap.
