A consultant needs to create a data graph based on several DLOs, Which step should the consultant take to make this work?

In Salesforce Data Cloud, a data graph is a tool used to visualize and explore the relationships between different Data Model Objects (DMOs). The raw data ingested into Data Cloud is stored as Data Lake Objects (DLOs). To make this raw data usable for modeling, segmentation, or visualization in a data graph, it must first be mapped to the standardized, harmonized structure of DMOs. Therefore, the correct process is to map the DLOs to their respective DMOs. Once these DMOs are populated and their relationships are defined, they can be used to construct the data graph.

Data Graphs in Data Cloud: "A data graph is a collection of data model objects (DMOs) and their relationships... You can use data graphs to see how DMOs are connected and quickly access their details

such as relationships

fields

and key qualifiers." This source confirms that data graphs are built from DMOs.

Data Mapping: "After you create a data stream

map the data lake objects (DLOs) to data model objects (DMOs). Mapping connects the fields in your source DLOs to the fields in the DMOs." This document explicitly states the required step of mapping DLOs to DMOs.

3. Salesforce Help

Relationships in Data Cloud: "Relationships connect objects in your data model... Data graphs use relationships to show how your DMOs are connected." This reinforces that the graph's structure is dependent on the relationships defined between DMOs

which can only be done after the DLO-to-DMO mapping is complete.
