"A Data Warehouse Architecture Using an XML-based ETL":
Résumé
XML enables to migrate data from relational databases
and other sources into future applications. It integrates
structured and unstructured data to present new
application and knowledge management opportunities.
By another way, data warehousing is an essential
element of decision support, which has increasingly
become a focus of the database industry. Meta-data
contains data dictionary and repository; it describes
warehousing process, data storage and information
delivery. This paper defines how XML impacts and
changes the concept of the data warehouse. It describes
an XML based tool for a structured, reusable and more
efficient data warehouse (DW). Otherwise, it shows the
ability to specify the warehousing tools with rules
defined in the meta-data dictionary.
