  • Sixth Normal Form

While this form may be unimportant for non-temporal data, it is certainly important when maintaining data containing temporal variables of a point-in-time or interval nature. With the advent of Data Warehousing 2.0 (DW 2.0), there is now an increased emphasis on using fully-temporalized databases in the context of data warehousing, in particular with next generation approaches such as Anchor Modeling . In this paper, we will explore the concepts of temporal data, 6NF conceptual database models, and their relationship with DW 2.0. Further, we will also evaluate Anchor Modeling as a conceptual design method in which to capture temporal data. Using these concepts, we will indicate a path forward for evaluating a possible translation of 6NF-compliant data into an eXtensible Markup Language (XML) Schema for the purpose of describing and presenting such data to disparate systems in a structured format suitable for data exchange. Keywords :, 6NF,SQL,DKNF,XML,Semantic data change, Valid Time, Transaction Time, DFM I. INTRODUCTION Normalization is the process of restructuring the logical data model of a database to eliminate redundancy, organize data efficiently and reduce repeating data and to reduce the potential for anomalies during data operations.

  • The Design of Multidimensional Data Model Using Principles of the Anchor Data Modeling: an Assessment of Experimental Approach Based on Query Execution Performance
    WSEAS TRANSACTIONS on COMPUTERS Radek Němec, František Zapletal The Design of Multidimensional Data Model Using Principles of the Anchor Data Modeling: An Assessment of Experimental Approach Based on Query Execution Performance RADEK NĚMEC, FRANTIŠEK ZAPLETAL Department of Systems Engineering Faculty of Economics, VŠB - Technical University of Ostrava Sokolská třída 33, 701 21 Ostrava CZECH REPUBLIC [email protected], [email protected] Abstract: - The decision making processes need to reflect changes in the business world in a multidimensional way. This includes also similar way of viewing the data for carrying out key decisions that ensure competitiveness of the business. In this paper we focus on the Business Intelligence system as a main toolset that helps in carrying out complex decisions and which requires multidimensional view of data for this purpose. We propose a novel experimental approach to the design a multidimensional data model that uses principles of the anchor modeling technique. The proposed approach is expected to bring several benefits like better query execution performance, better support for temporal querying and several others. We provide assessment of this approach mainly from the query execution performance perspective in this paper. The emphasis is placed on the assessment of this technique as a potential innovative approach for the field of the data warehousing with some implicit principles that could make the process of the design, implementation and maintenance of the data warehouse more effective. The query performance testing was performed in the row-oriented database environment using a sample of 10 star queries executed in the environment of 10 sample multidimensional data models.

  • Data Vault and 'The Truth' About the Enterprise Data Warehouse
    Data Vault and ‘The Truth’ about the Enterprise Data Warehouse Roelant Vos – 04-05-2012 Brisbane, Australia Introduction More often than not, when discussion about data modeling and information architecture move towards the Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW) heated discussions occur and (alternative) solutions are proposed supported by claims that these alternatives are quicker and easier to develop than the cumbersome EDW while also delivering value to the business in a more direct way. Apparently, the EDW has a bad image. An image that seems to be associated with long development times, high complexity, difficulties in maintenance and a falling short on promises in general. It is true that in the past many EDW projects have suffered from stagnation during the data integration (development) phase. These projects have stalled in a cycle of changes in ETL and data model design and the subsequent unit and acceptance testing. No usable information is presented to the business users while being stuck in this vicious cycle and as a result an image of inability is painted by the Data Warehouse team (and often at high costs). Why are things this way? One of the main reasons is that the Data Warehouse / Business Intelligence industry defines and works with The Enterprise Data architectures that do not (can not) live up to their promises. To date Warehouse has a bad there are (still) many Data Warehouse specialists who argue that an image while in reality it is EDW is always expensive, complex and monolithic whereas the real driven by business cases, message should be that an EDW is in fact driven by business cases, adaptive and quick to adaptive and quick to deliver.

  • Sql Query Optimization for Highly Normalized Big Data
    DECISION MAKING AND BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE SQL QUERY OPTIMIZATION FOR HIGHLY NORMALIZED BIG DATA Nikolay I. GOLOV Lecturer, Department of Business Analytics, School of Business Informatics, Faculty of Business and Management, National Research University Higher School of Economics Address: 20, Myasnitskaya Street, Moscow, 101000, Russian Federation E-mail: [email protected] Lars RONNBACK Lecturer, Department of Computer Science, Stocholm University Address: SE-106 91 Stockholm, Sweden E-mail: [email protected] This paper describes an approach for fast ad-hoc analysis of Big Data inside a relational data model. The approach strives to achieve maximal utilization of highly normalized temporary tables through the merge join algorithm. It is designed for the Anchor modeling technique, which requires a very high level of table normalization. Anchor modeling is a novel data warehouse modeling technique, designed for classical databases and adapted by the authors of the article for Big Data environment and a massively parallel processing (MPP) database. Anchor modeling provides flexibility and high speed of data loading, where the presented approach adds support for fast ad-hoc analysis of Big Data sets (tens of terabytes). Different approaches to query plan optimization are described and estimated, for row-based and column- based databases. Theoretical estimations and results of real data experiments carried out in a column-based MPP environment (HP Vertica) are presented and compared. The results show that the approach is particularly favorable when the available RAM resources are scarce, so that a switch is made from pure in-memory processing to spilling over from hard disk, while executing ad-hoc queries.

The risk of progressive collapse of tieback wall systems is inherently low because of the capacity of the soil to arch and redistribute loads to adjacent ground anchors. The current practice of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is to design tieback walls and ground anchorage systems with sufficient strength to prevent failure due to the loss of a single ground anchor. Results of this investigation indicate that the risk of progressive collapse can be reduced

  • Anchor Modeling TDWI Presentation
    1 _tÜá e≠ÇÇuùv~ Anchor Modeling I N T H E D A T A W A R E H O U S E Did you know that some of the earliest prerequisites for data warehousing were set over 2500 years ago. It is called an anchor model since the anchors tie down a number of attributes (see picture above). All EER-diagrams have been made with Graphviz. All cats are drawn by the author, Lars Rönnbäck. 1 22 You can never step into the same river twice. The great greek philosopher Heraclitus said ”You can never step into the same river twice”. What he meant by that is that everything is changing. The next time you step into the river other waters are flowing by. Likewise the environment surrounding a data warehouse is in constant change and whenever you revisit them you have to adapt to these changes. Image painted by Henrik ter Bruggen courtsey of Wikipedia Commons (public domain). 2 3 Five Essential Criteria • A future-proof data warehouse must at least fulfill: – Value – Maintainability – Usability – Performance – Flexibility Fail in one and there will be consequences Value – most important, even a very poorly designed data warehouse can survive as long as it is providing good business value. If you fail in providing value, the warehouse will be viewed as a money sink and may be cancelled altogether. Maintainability – you should be able to answer the question: How is the warehouse feeling today? Could be healthy, could be ill! Detect trends, e g in loading times. Usability – must be simple and accessible to the end users.

  • Agile Information Modeling in Evolving Data Environments
    Anchor Modeling { Agile Information Modeling in Evolving Data Environments L. R¨onnb¨ack Resight, Kungsgatan 66, 101 30 Stockholm, Sweden O. Regardt Teracom, Kakn¨astornet,102 52 Stockholm, Sweden M. Bergholtz, P. Johannesson, P. Wohed DSV, Stockholm University, Forum 100, 164 40 Kista, Sweden Abstract Maintaining and evolving data warehouses is a complex, error prone, and time consuming activity. The main reason for this state of affairs is that the environment of a data warehouse is in constant change, while the warehouse itself needs to provide a stable and consistent interface to information spanning extended periods of time. In this article, we propose an agile information modeling technique, called Anchor Modeling, that offers non-destructive extensibility mechanisms, thereby enabling robust and flexible management of changes. A key benefit of Anchor Modeling is that changes in a data warehouse environment only require extensions, not modifications, to the data warehouse. Such changes, therefore, do not require immediate modifications of existing applications, since all previous versions of the database schema are available as subsets of the current schema. Anchor Modeling decouples the evolution and application of a database, which when building a data warehouse enables shrinking of the initial project scope. While data models were previously made to capture every facet of a domain in a single phase of development, in Anchor Modeling fragments can be iteratively modeled and applied. We provide a formal and technology independent definition of anchor models and show how anchor models can be realized as relational databases together with examples of schema evolution. We also investigate performance through a number of lab experiments, which indicate that under certain conditions anchor databases perform substantially better than databases constructed using traditional modeling techniques.
