Which type of data model objects would you build when integrating new data sources with custom attributes added to a standard data model object?

• A. Standard
• B. Hybrid
• C. Custom
• D. None

Answer: (B)

When you’re integrating new data sources that bring extra attributes alongside a standard data model object, a hybrid approach is the natural fit. A hybrid data model blends the standard core with the flexibility to add custom attributes from those sources, so you preserve the reliable structure for common fields while capturing the new details you need. This supports consistent analytics and governance for the standard parts, plus the necessary extensions for the new data. Using only the standard model would omit the new attributes, while a fully custom model would drift away from the standard and complicate interoperability and governance. None of that applies here because there is a practical, well-supported way to combine both aspects.
