Performance management business architecture, describing the process, data, organisation and data warehouse architecture required to deliver this capability.
The document discusses requirements gathering for data warehousing projects. It emphasizes that requirements for data warehousing are different than for operational systems, as data warehousing is meant to provide strategic information rather than capture data. While users may have trouble defining their exact needs, they can identify important business dimensions and measurements. Gathering requirements involves open-ended interviews with various stakeholders to understand objectives, issues, anticipated usage, and success metrics. Proper requirements form the basis for all subsequent development phases of the data warehouse.
Dimensional Modeling Basic Concept with ExampleSajjad Zaheer
This document discusses dimensional modeling, which is a process for structuring data to facilitate reporting and analysis. It involves extracting data from operational databases, transforming it according to requirements, and loading it into a data warehouse with a dimensional model. The key aspects of dimensional modeling covered are identifying grains, dimensions, and facts, then designing star schemas with fact and dimension tables. An example of modeling a user points system is provided to illustrate the dimensional modeling process.
This document discusses various concepts in data warehouse logical design including data marts, types of data marts (dependent, independent, hybrid), star schemas, snowflake schemas, and fact constellation schemas. It defines each concept and provides examples to illustrate them. Dependent data marts are created from an existing data warehouse, independent data marts are stand-alone without a data warehouse, and hybrid data marts combine data from a warehouse and other sources. Star schemas have one table for each dimension that joins to a central fact table, while snowflake schemas have normalized dimension tables. Fact constellation schemas have multiple fact tables that share dimension tables.
The document provides an overview of dimensional data modeling. It defines key concepts such as facts, dimensions, and star schemas. It discusses the differences between relational and dimensional modeling and how dimensional modeling organizes data into facts and dimensions. The document also covers more complex dimensional modeling topics such as slowly changing dimensions, bridge tables, and hierarchies. It emphasizes the importance of understanding the data and iterating on the design. Finally, it provides 10 recommendations for dimensional modeling including using surrogate keys and type 2 slowly changing dimensions.
The document discusses the need for data warehousing and provides examples of how data warehousing can help companies analyze data from multiple sources to help with decision making. It describes common data warehouse architectures like star schemas and snowflake schemas. It also outlines the process of building a data warehouse, including data selection, preprocessing, transformation, integration and loading. Finally, it discusses some advantages and disadvantages of data warehousing.
The document provides an introduction to data warehousing. It defines a data warehouse as a subject-oriented, integrated, time-varying, and non-volatile collection of data used for organizational decision making. It describes key characteristics of a data warehouse such as maintaining historical data, facilitating analysis to improve understanding, and enabling better decision making. It also discusses dimensions, facts, ETL processes, and common data warehouse architectures like star schemas.
The document discusses metadata for a data mart. Metadata includes descriptions of data sources, the data mart structure including tables and attributes, refresh frequencies, and customizations made during data loading. Metadata can be technical, describing the data mart creation and management, or business focused, allowing users to understand available information and how to access it. The document then outlines the process for designing a data mart, including defining the project scope and requirements, creating logical and physical designs, and developing a star schema with dimensions and facts.
Organizations need business intelligence systems to provide useful information to users in a timely manner by processing, storing and analyzing patterns in customer, supplier, partner and employee data. There are three main types of business intelligence tools: reporting tools that generate structured reports, data mining tools that find patterns and relationships in data, and knowledge management tools that store and share employee knowledge. Data warehouses and data marts standardize and prepare operational and third party data for analysis to address inconsistent and missing data problems. Reporting and data mining applications then use business intelligence tools to analyze this structured data and deliver insights.
A data warehouse stores current and historical data for analysis and decision making. It uses a star schema with fact and dimension tables. The fact table contains measures that can be aggregated and connected to dimension tables through foreign keys. Dimensions describe the facts and contain descriptive attributes to analyze measures over time, products, locations etc. This allows analyzing large volumes of historical data for informed decisions.

Reference Architecture Components
Component Description
Business Intelligence
Presentation Layer
The presentation layer is responsible for providing tools for delivering ad hoc, standard and
analytical reporting. The reporting tools available fall under the business intelligence umbrella
(BI). These tool support access to and analysis of information to improve and optimize
decisions and performance, i.e. data mining, analytical processing, reporting & querying data..
Information Catalogue The information catalogue (data dictionary) component is responsible for maintaining the
definition of data and its lineage from the source systems through to the data warehouse. This
incudes data definitions, data mapping and transformations conducted on the data.
Data Warehouse
Data Mart
The data mart component is responsible for delivering line of business, departmental and
individual information needs and key performance indicators. These information needs are
reported as facts, allowing the data to be reported against standard dimensions, such as,.
Customer segment, product, organisation structure, location and time.
Data Warehouse
Operational Data Store
The operation data store (ODS) component is responsible for holding historic atomic data
extracted from operational systems. This data is held in non-redundant third normal form
arranged by subject area. It contains static near current data which is refreshed on a regular
basis from the source operational systems, e.g. daily, weekly or monthly. It is used to support
all decision support reporting needs.
Data Acquisition
Extract, Transform & Load
Data reconciliation component is responsible for data acquisition and resolving consistencies
and discrepancies between common data elements stored across the source systems, e.g.
reference codes, spelling & field lengths. The reconciliation process is conducted in a separate
staging area where the extracted data is reformatted, transformed and integrated into an agreed
common data model.
Operational Systems The transactional processing systems used to support the business operations of the
enterprise. These operational systems provide the primary data used for decision support and
reporting. This data is dynamic and constantly changing with each business transaction.
