• Establish how the Ontology integrates with core systems of record (policy, billing, claims), the enterprise data platform, and downstream applications.
• Define the architecture for AI, GenAI, and Agentic workflows grounded in the Ontology, including LLM/RAG patterns, agent boundaries, human-in-the-loop controls, and Responsible AI requirements.
• Define the data architecture target state and roadmap, including conceptual and logical data models, domain boundaries, data product standards, and data mesh/lakehouse operating patterns.
• Set standards for data integration, API, and event-driven patterns across structured and unstructured data, spanning Snowflake, Kafka/MSK, and the Palantir platform.
• Establish data governance, lineage, metadata, quality, privacy, and security requirements in partnership with Data Governance, Security, and Compliance.
