A Methodology for Datawarehouse Design: Conceptual Modeling

Abstract

Data warehousing and online analytical processing (OLAP) technologies have become growing interest areas in latest years. Specific issues, such as conceptual modeling, schemes translation from operational systems, physical design, etc... have been widely treated, but there is not a general accepted complete methodology for datawarehouse design. In this work, we present a multidimensional datawarehouse development methodology based on and integrated with a Public software development methodology.
