Abstract

Various information systems have been developed for decision support. But, they rely essentially on transactional methods. From data and transactional databases, we proposed a supply-driven approach to design data warehouses. The approach takes as input, a universal relation, applies vertical partitioning by a greedy type heuristic algorithm. Partitions obtained are transformed into dimensions using a matching algorithm. The other elements of the multidimensional annotation are deduced by guidelines, and the data warehouse schema is generated using a multidimensional conceptual pattern. The transformation of those transactional systems into decision support ones aims at facilitating the storage, exploitation and the representation of data using new databases generation technologies.
