Syndicate Data Incorporation into Data Warehouses: Contrasting Consumer Problems with Supplier Viewpoints

The research reported in this paper extends current knowledge of problems related to syndicate data incorporation into data warehouses (DWs). It does so by employing an interview study towards syndicate data suppliers (SDSs). The result gives a contextualization of syndicate data incorporation problems, from a supplier perspective, by contrasting the problems experienced by user organizations. The results show that the user organizations and the syndicate data suppliers have unresolved interoperability issues. Specifically with respect to the business and knowledge layers, whereas the interoperation on the ICT-systems layer seems to been prioritized and therefore achieved a higher degree of interoperability.
