Architecture for Integrating Federal Databases into a Unified State Monitoring Perimeter
Keywords:
Federal databases, unified state monitoring perimeter, data governance, integration architecture, DAMA-DMBOK, metadata, data lineageAbstract
The article examines the strategic relevance of database integration amid fragmented regulatory data, cross-agency dependence, and a growing demand for evidence-based public oversight. Its purpose is to develop a theoretical model and target architecture that connect governance arrangements, metadata management, data quality rules, lineage requirements, and platform design within a single supervisory system. The study proceeds from the premise that effective state monitoring depends on semantically aligned, traceable, and standardized data flows across heterogeneous federal and departmental sources. The novelty of the article lies in the proposed model and architecture of a unified state monitoring perimeter grounded in DAMA-DMBOK principles and adapted to regulatory banking practice. The main conclusions show that integration should be organized through a layered architecture including source systems, an integration layer, a harmonization layer, a quality and lineage control layer, and a unified analytical platform functioning as a Single Source of Truth. The article also demonstrates that federated data governance with centralized standards provides the institutional basis for accountability, coherence, and supervisory use of integrated data. The article will be useful for researchers, public administrators, financial regulators, and designers of state information systems.
