The Novel Model of Object-Oriented Data Warehouses

Abstract

With the variety of analysis tools and heterogeneous data sources, it is getting more important to apply object-oriented techniques to approach data warehouse designs. In this paper, we propose a novel data model for constructing the object-oriented data warehouses from various data sources. The model generates the classes of the objected-oriented data warehouse according to the views of users’ requirements and the original structures. Especially, it preserves the original inheritance relationships of objects, which has never been done well before.
