Data warehousing – a boat records managers should not miss

Abstract

This article describes a data warehouse by comparing definitions. It examines the difference between a database and a data warehouse, and gives definitions of datamarts and data mining. The article goes on to look at methods for implementing a data warehouse, and problems that can be encountered during implementation. It discusses whether the data in a data warehouse are records, finally deciding that they are and that the records manager should have overall responsibility for the data.
