DETAILED DESCRIPTION According to the invention, techniques for organizing information from a variety of sources, including legacy systems, in a data warehousing environment are provided.
In an exemplary embodiment, the invention provides a method for analyzing data from one or more data sources of an enterprise.
The method provides a meta-model based technique for modeling the enterprise data.
The enterprise is typically a business activity, but can also be other loci of human activity.
Embodiments according to the invention can translate data from a variety of sources to particular database schema in order to provide organization to a data warehousing environment.
The method includes a variety of steps, such as providing a model for an enterprise.
The model can be a meta model that describes at a high level the information used by the enterprise.
Meta models can describe relationships between groups of entities in a data model.
Entities in a data model can comprise particular data types, and the like.
The enterprise can be a business activity, and/or the like.
A step of forming a data organization from the model is also part of the method.
The data organization can include data schema and the like.
Data schema define aspects of the database, such as attributes, domains and parameters, and the like, to a database management system (DBMS).
The method also includes creating one or more databases for containing the data.
Translating data from one or more sources to the data organization is also part of the method.
A step of incorporating data into the database is part of the method.
The method can also include a step of performing analysis on the data in the database.
Accordingly, the combination of these steps can provide an environment for analyzing information about customers, business processes and the like.
In another aspect of the present invention, techniques for data warehousing are provided.
In a particular embodiment, the invention provides a method for creating a database for organizing information from one or more sources
