Definition of data warehouse

A data warehouse is a subject-oriented, integrated, time-vari ant and non-volatile collection of data in support of management’s decision making process (Bill Inmon)

Inmon, W.H.(2005). Building the Data Warehouse , 4th edition , New York : Wiley

Characteristics of Data Warehouse

• Subject Oriented: Data are organized by detailed subject, such as sales, products or customers . It contains only information relevant for decision support.

• Integrated: It integrates data from different sources into a consistent format.

• Time Variant: A data warehouse maintains historical data . It enables users to forecast and make comparison among data.

• Nonvolatile: Data are non volatile in the data warehouse. Once they are entered, users can not change the data .

Inmon, W.H.(2005). Building the Data Warehouse , 4th edition , New York : Wiley

Types of Data Warehouse

• Data Marts

• Operational Data Stores(ODS)

• Enterprise Data Warehouse(EDW)

Data MartData Mart: Data mart is usually smaller and focuses on a particularsubject or department. It is a subset of a data warehouse, typicallyconsisting of single subject area.

Data marts can be either Dependent or Independent

Department Data Mart is subset that is created directly from dataWarehouseIndependent Data Warehouse is a small warehouse designed for astrategic business unit or a department

Operational Data Stores (ODS)

It provides recent form of customer information file . It is used for short time decision making .It consolidates from multiple source system.

Enterprise Data Warehouses (EDW):

It is a large scale data warehouse that is used across the enterprise for decision support. It provides integration of data from many sources into a standard format for effective business Intelligence and decision support applications.

Data Warehousing ProcessData source: Data are sourced from multiple independent operational systemsand external sourcesData Extraction: Data are extracted using custom-written or commercial softwarecalled ETL Data Loading: Data are loaded into a staging area where they are transformed andcleansed. Comprehensive database: its provides all relevant summarized and detailedinformation from various sources like a EDW Meta Data: It includes software programs about data and rules for organizing dataso that is can be easy for IT personal to search, especially with web tools

Middleware tools: It enables to access to the DW.

Top down development (EDW) approach

This approach does not hinder the creation of data marts . The top down approach is the ideal approach because it provides a consistent and comprehensive view of the enterprise .

This approach is supported by Bill Inmon

Data Warehouse Development Approach :

Efrain Turban(2011)Decision Support and Business Intelligence System, Data Warehousing , pg:349

Data Warehouse Development Approach :

Top Down or EDW approach

Bottom up approach or Data Mart approach

This Data Mart approach is subject oriented or departmentoriented data warehouse . It is a scaled-down version of a datawarehouse that focuses on the requests of a specific department .This model applies dimensional data modeling .

Data Warehouse Development Approach :

Data Warehouse Development Approach :

Bottom up approach or Data Mart approach

Contrast between the Data Mart approach & EDW approach :

Scope One subject area Several subject area

Development time Several months Years

Development Cost $10,000 to $100,000+

$1000000+

End user accessibility

Primarily audience End users IT professionals

J.Van den Hoven,(2003) ‘Data Marts: Plan Big, Build Small,’in IS Management Handbook, 8th edition

For large companies such as BAT(British American Tobacco) aor Uniliver they can go for EDW approach and many vendorssuch as SAP , ORACEL or IBM they provide DW services forlarge multi national companies

And for middle size organization they can go for Data Martapproach which is less costly than EDW approach .Andcompanies like Data Mirror . HP , Teradata companies theyprove DW services for middle sized companies
