DIMENSION HIERARCHIES UPDATES IN DATA WAREHOUSES - A User-driven Approach

Abstract

We designed a data warehouse for the French bank LCL meeting users' needs regarding marketing operations decision. However, the nature of the work of users implies that their requirements are often changing. In this paper, we propose an original and global approach to achieve a user-driven model evolution that provides answers to personalized analysis needs. We developed a prototype called WEDrik (data Warehouse Evolution Driven by Knowledge) within the Oracle 10g DBMS and applied our approach on banking data of LCL.
