Needs for Data
Data = Values (Measurements)
 Data to operate
 Data to control
 Data to plan
M. Anvari

Needs for Information
Information = Content + Structure (Relationships)
 Structure of the Real-world
 Relating data to the business

Cross functional processes
 Relating data to the real world

External DB

External Data Feeds (D&B, Reuters, etc.)


Needs for Knowledge
Knowledge = Goals + Actions + Learning
 Learning more about our business
 Learning more about our market
 Learning more about the business environment
Knowledge is the area in which Data Warehousing and
Data Mining are potentially critical technologies

Data Warehousing
Data Warehouse can be thought of as an automated version of the
Information Center that was widely popular in the mid-1980s or
even ultimately as the automation of Information Resource
Management. And while technologies such as client-server have
begun to put enormous computing and graphics power in the
hands of individuals, however, these technologies have not, in
general, provided the link to the operational data that end users
need to make critical business decisions.

Data Warehouse Requirements
Support for Universal Access to Multi-platform Data Bases
Support for Multiple User Types
Separation of Operational and Informational Concerns
Support for Networked Data


Flexibility, Performance, Ease of Navigation

Large numbers of different views

Manage Huge Amounts of Data (VLDBs)

Need to drill down/drill thru into data

Need to draw on data from many sources
Page 37
Support for Networked Data
All the data that is required to support informational
needs is often not on the same operational data
base. The need for Labor Negotiations, for
example, may come from a variety of operational
data bases, such as Manufacturing, Personnel,
and Accounting.

Goals of Warehouse
1. Performance (Canned queries, MD Analysis, Ad hoc,
Impact on Operational System)
2. Flexibility (MD Flex, Ad hoc, Change data structure)
3. Scalability (No. of Users, Volume of Data)
4. Ease of Use (Location, Formulation, Navigation,
Manipulation)
5. Data Quality (Consistent, Correct, Timely, Integrated)
6. Connection to the Detail Business Transactions

A Virtual Data Warehouse
approach is often chosen
when there are infrequent
demands for data and
management wants to
determine if/how users
will use operational data.

One of the weaknesses of
a Virtual Data Warehouse
approach is that user

One way to minimize this
