Abstract

During the last decade, data warehouse and OLAP techniques have helped companies to gather, organize and analyze the structured data they produce. Simultaneously, digital libraries have applied Information Retrieval mechanisms to query their repositories of unstructured documents. In this context, the emergence of XML means the convergence of these two approaches, making possible the development of warehouses for semi-structured information. Although there exist several extensions of traditional data warehouse technology to manage semi-structured information, none of them are based on an underlying document model able to exploit this kind of information. Along this paper we expose our vision of what a semi-structured information warehouse should be, by identifying a set of requirements throughout an example scenario.
