Business Process Oriented Development of Data Warehouse Structures

Requirement Analysis in Data Warehouses to Support External Information

“…For example: Business process models in [7], GoalQuestion-Metric approach in [8], use cases in [9], best practices in [10], traditional requirements engineering (RE) process in [11], Decision processes analysis in [5], Map goal model in [12], GDI model in [13], extended Tropos in [14], extended i* framework in [15], etc... Due to lack of space, in this section we give a brief description of the most relevant requirement-driven, mostly goal-oriented, DW design approaches. Starting with [13], DW requirements are determined in the broader context of the goals and objectives of an organization.…”

Decisions and Decision Requirements for Data Warehouse Systems

“…Goal oriented data warehouse development approaches of [6,7] and [16] reach data warehouse contents directly from goals without an explicit decisional stage. On the other hand, [15] recognizes the need to do further analysis from the decisional point of view.…”

“…The role of Requirements engineering in developing Data Warehouses has been investigated only in the last decade or so [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. Today, there is a body of opinion that uses goal oriented techniques [10,11,13,15,16] for determining data warehouse structure.…”

An evaluation of process warehousing approaches for business process analysis

“…• Process oriented DW structures (PoWS) [25]: The approach is adopted with modification of comprehensive business engineering methodology SOM of Ferstl/Sinz [26]. According to this approach, goals, subgoals relationship between then and services are identified.…”
