The use of UML to design agricultural data warehouses

چکیده
Recent research works propose to use the Unified Modeling Language (UML) to design data warehouses. First, the paper overviews these recent UML-based techniques. We show that UML can help system designers to build a data warehouse model. This type of model aims to describe the different analysis dimensions of the data. Second, we will also present different UML-based tools used during a project of agricultural data warehouse. The paper will introduce this data warehouse developed in France. Its goal is to allow analyzing spatially the use of pesticide in agriculture.

Applying UML for Modeling the Physical Design of Data Warehouses
In previous work, we have shown how to use unified modeling language (UML) as the primary representation mechanism to model conceptual design, logical design, modeling of extraction, transformation, loading (ETL) processes, and defining online analytical processing (OLAP) requirements of data warehouses (DW). Continuing our work on using UML throughout the DW development lifecycle, in this chap...
متن کاملConceptual Design of XML Document Warehouses
EXtensible Markup Language (XML) has emerged as the dominant standard in describing and exchanging data among heterogeneous data sources. XML with its self-describing hierarchical structure and its associated XML Schema (XSD) provides the flexibility and the manipulative power needed to accommodate complex, disconnected, heterogeneous data. The issue of large volume of data appearing deserves i...
متن کاملA UML profile for multidimensional modeling in data warehouses
The multidimensional (MD) modeling, which is the foundation of data warehouses (DWs), MD databases, and OnLine Analytical Processing (OLAP) applications, is based on several properties different from those in traditional database modeling. In the past few years, there have been some proposals, providing their own formal and graphical notations, for representing the main MD properties at the con...
متن کاملApplying UML and XML for designing and interchanging information for data warehouses and OLAP applications
Multidimensional (MD) modeling is the basis for Data warehouses (DW), multidimensional databases (MDB) and On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP) applications. In this paper, we present how the Unified Modeling Language (UML) can be successfully used to represent both structural and dynamic properties of these systems at the conceptual level. The structure of the system is specified by means of a...
متن کاملStored-grains pests and their control with emphasis on military food warehouses in Iran: a review
Background and Aim: In order to providing healthy food and improve food security, it is vital to preserve and protect agricultural products from pest's damage during storage. This is especially crucial for strategic products such as grains and cereals. Inefficient management in this subject would lead to the loss of stored food and will make the country's economic dependence on the other. In pa...
