Canonical Data Models

Illuminate organizes your institutional data into canonical data models (CDMs) — standardized, documented data structures for each Blackboard product, such as CDM_LMS for Blackboard LMS and CDM_ALY for Ally. When you query data in Snowflake or build your own reports, the canonical data models are what you're working with.

Use these resources to work with the data models:

Dizionario Dati — Explore table and column definitions, entity relationships, and source systems for every entry in the data models.

Frequenze di aggiornamento per modelli di dati canonici — See how often each data model updates and when refreshes start, by product and AWS region.

Log delle Modifiche del Modello di Dati Canonico — Review additions, changes, and deprecations to the data models by release date.
