Manuel,
To get the definition of Data Warehousing depends on what entity or
"data warehousing authority" you wish to get the definition from. When I
researched many sources of data warehousing information to prepare for
presentations at the PICK/MultiValue conferences I have given, I came to
use what I believed was the most widely accepted definition of Data
Warehousing. That definition was invented by a man named "Bill Inmon"
that I believe is considered the "father of data warehousing". I have
broken down the definition and tried to put into words to fit the
MultiValue industry. Go to http://www.mgmt-info-tools.com and click on
"What is Data Warehousing" on the home page to see this.
Data Mining is also a broad term and can be a very simple or very
complex method of researching information in a data warehouse. Not to
try and plug myself or company too much, but I wrote an article on Data
Mining for Spectrum magazine that was intended to show the usefulness of
data mining for MultiValue based systems. You can download our overview
of our data mining product - MITS - that contains the data mining
article or if you would like I will just email just the article.
Our MITS data mining / data warehousing product has been installed and
running on a great number of AP and D3 systems in addition to UniVerse,
UniData, ADDS and Sanyo/Icon systems.
DataStage is product of Ardent Software's that is used to extract
mapped data out of an entity's (i.e. business's) everyday operational
data and put it in data warehouse to allow it to be viewed with a number
of popular data mining tools such as Cognos PowerPlay. Ardent's web site
