Información sobre este eBook

DW 2.0: The Architecture for the Next Generation of Data Warehousing is the first book on the new generation of data warehouse architecture, DW 2.0, by the father of the data warehouse. The book describes the future of data warehousing that is technologically possible today, at both an architectural level and technology level.

The perspective of the book is from the top down: looking at the overall architecture and then delving into the issues underlying the components. This allows people who are building or using a data warehouse to see what lies ahead and determine what new technology to buy, how to plan extensions to the data warehouse, what can be salvaged from the current system, and how to justify the expense at the most practical level. This book gives experienced data warehouse professionals everything they need in order to implement the new generation DW 2.0.

It is designed for professionals in the IT organization, including data architects, DBAs, systems design and development professionals, as well as data warehouse and knowledge management professionals.

• First book on the new generation of data warehouse architecture, DW 2.0
• Written by the "father of the data warehouse", Bill Inmon, a columnist and newsletter editor of The Bill Inmon Channel on the Business Intelligence Network
• Long overdue comprehensive coverage of the implementation of technology and tools that enable the new generation of the DW: metadata, temporal data, ETL, unstructured data, and data quality control

Valoraciones y reseñas

Advertencia al lector: este libro no es un manual práctico con ejercicios para implementar componentes de un DW. Es la descripción de la arquitectura de un DW, desde un punto de vista más conceptual. Por lo que requiere del lector conocimiento general sobre los componentes de un DW. No obstante, su lectura debe ser un obligado para la formación del profesional que se desempeña en alguno de los roles relacionados con el diseño, administración y/o operación de un DW.
