“…Recently, the emergence of big data has generated much interest in the research community. Some authors such as (Liu, Thomsen & Pedersen, 2011), (Liu, Thomsen & Pedersen, 2014), and (Misra, Saha & Mazumdar, 2013) have proposed interesting ETL approaches. Indeed, our study is motivated by the fact that the existing conceptual modeling approaches such as (El Akkaoui & Zimányi, 2009), (Trujillo & Luján-Mora, 2003), and (Vassiliadis et al, 2002) are not suitable for big data environments.…”
