Foundations of Data Warehouse Quality Source Integration in Data Warehousing

چکیده
Source Integration is one of the core problems in Data Warehousing. Two critical factors for the design and maintenance of applications requiring Source Integration, and in particular Data Warehouse applications, are conceptual modeling of the domain, and reasoning support over the conceptual representation. We present a novel approach to conceptual modeling for Source Integration, which allows for suitably modeling the global concepts of the application, the individual information sources, and the constraints among different sources. Our methodological framework relies on the reasoning services associated with the modeling formalism to support an incremental Source Integration phase within the Data Warehouse design process.

In human health and life sciences, researchers extensively collaborate with each other, sharing biomedical and genomic data and their experimental results. This necessitates dynamically integrating different databases or warehousing them into a single repository. Based on our past experience of building a data warehouse called GEDAW (Gene Expression Data Warehouse) that stores data on genes exp...

متن کاملData Integration in Data Warehousing (Keynote Address)
Data integration is a central problem in the design of Data Wareshouses and Decision Support Systems. When data passes from the sources of the application-oriented operational environment to the Data Warehouse, possible inconsistencies and redundancies should be resolved, so that the warehouse is able to provide an integrated and reconciled view of data of the organization. Generally speaking, ...
