In this second, broader sense, data architecture includes a complete analysis of the relationships betweenamong an organization's functions, available [[technologies]], and [[data type]]s.
 
Data architecture should be defined in the '''planning phase''' of the design of a new data processing and storage system. The major types and sources of data necessary to support an enterprise should be identified in a manner that is complete, consistent, and understandable. The primary requirement at this stage is to define all of the relevant '''data entities''', not to specify [[computer hardware]] items. A data entity is any real or abstracted thing about which an organization or individual wishes to store data.
