A DATA WAREHOUSE ARCHITECTURE FOR BRAZILIAN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY ENVIRONMENT

André Luís Andrade Menolli, Maria Madalena Dias

2004

Abstract

Science and technology in Brazil are areas that have few available resources and many times these scarce resources are badly used. The data warehouse is a tool that can make possible a better distribution of these resources. In this article are considered some issues in the development of a data warehouse for Science & Technology management. The paper describes the necessity of a supporting system to the decision taking regarding the distribution of the resources destined to Science & Technology in Brazil, and also shows a data warehouse architecture that is being developed to support this system. data modeling characteristics defined for the proposed data warehouse architecture are presented too.
