  • is a powerful database model that
    significantly enhances the user’s ability to quickly analyze
    large, multidimensional data sets. It cleanses and
    organizes data to allow users to make business decisions
    based on facts.
    ◼ is a collection of integrated, subject
    oriented databases designed to support the decision
    support function where each unit of data is relevant to
    some moment of time.

Q

is defined as standardizing and

data.

A

Data quality

20
Q

is
a set of software design patterns
used to determine the data that
has changed in a database so that
action can be taken on the
changed data.

-occur mostly in data
warehouse environments

A

Change Data Capture (CDC)

21
Q

This involves analysis of metadata and
data values, and detection of
differences between defined and
inferred properties.

A

Analyze the Data

22
Q

is a process to assess
current data conditions, or to monitor
data quality over time. It begins with
collecting measurements about data,
and then looking at the results
individually and in various combinations
to see where anomalies exits.

A

Profile the Data / Data profiling

23
Q

is the act of detecting and
correcting (or removing) corrupt or
inaccurate records from a record set,
table, or database.

A

Cleanse the Data / Data cleansing

24
Q

This involves integration and
consolidation of data from various
source systems to form a single system
of record.

A

Integrate the Data

25
transforms different input formats into a consolidated output format; helps in: creating single domain fields, incorporating business, industry standards.
Standardize the Data
26
Is a subject-oriented, integrated, volatile, current-valued, detailed-only collection of data in support of an organization's need for up-to- the second, operational, integrated, collective information
Operational Data Store
27
Is a body of decision-support data for a department that has an architectural foundation of a data warehouse; can also represent a business process that can proliferate across many departments
Data Mart
28
is defined as the extensive use of data, statistical and quantitative analyses, explanatory and predictive modeling, and fact-based management to drive decision making.
Analytics
29
provides information about the past state or performance of a business and its environment. It provides regular reports for events that already happened and ad hoc reports to help examine facts about what happened, where, how often, and with how many.
Descriptive analytics
30
helps predict (based on data and statistical techniques) with confidence what will happen next so that you can make well-informed decisions and improve business outcomes. It uses simulation models to suggest what could happen.
Predictive analytics
31
recommends high-value alternative actions or decisions given a complex set of targets, limits, and choices. It predicts future outcomes and suggests courses of actions to take so that you can benefit from those predictions.
Prescriptive analytics
32
is “data about data.” It refers to data that tries to describe a data set in terms of its value, content, quality, and significance.
Metadata
33
a data warehouse may be as broad as all the informational data for the entire enterprise from the beginning of time, or it may be as narrow as a personal data warehouse for a single manager for a single year.
Scope
34
allow end users to get at operational databases directly; it provides the ultimate in flexibility as well as the minimum amount of redundant data that must be loaded and maintained.
Virtual data warehouses
35
are single physical databases that contains all data for a specific functional area, department, division, or enterprise.
Central data warehouses
36
are those in which certain components are distributed across a number of different physical databases.
Distributed data warehouses
37
Is the specification of data structures and business rules to represent business requirements
Data Model
38
Is a structured approach used to identify major components of an information system's specifications ◼ Is the process used to analyze the data, identify the relationships, and, ultimately, create the data model
Data Modeling
39
is a structured business view of the data required to support current business processes, business events, and related performance measures It is a single integrated data structure which reflects the structure of business functions rather than the processing flow or the physical arrangement of data
Conceptual Data Model (CDM)
40
builds upon the business requirements and includes a further level of detail that supports both the business and system requirements
Logical Data Model (LDM)
41
is specific to the software and performance constraints of the specific database management system to be used in the implementation
Physical Data Model (PDM)
42
is a logical design technique for structuring data so that it's intuitive to business users and delivers fast query performance. is widely accepted as the preferred approach for data warehouse presentation.
Dimensional Modeling
43
is quite different from dimensional modeling. a design technique that seeks to eliminate data redundancies.
Normalized modeling
44
are captured by the organization's business processes and their supporting operational source systems. - are usually numeric values; we refer to them as facts.
Measurements
45
are surrounded by largely textual context that is true at the moment the fact is recorded. serve as the Key Performance Indicators (KPI) of the organization.
Fact
46
is the business definition of the measurement event that produces the fact row.
fact table's grain (granularity)
47
provide descriptive information about the fact. - are composed of attributes which are used for filtering or labeling data within data warehouse queries.
