Abstract

The Conventional data warehouses (DWs) are information repositories specialized in supporting decision making. Since the decisional process requires an analyzing of historical data, DWs systems have been increasingly feeling the need to collect temporal data for accountability and traceability reasons. On the other hand, the temporal object relational Model has been successfully used to handle and maintain past, present and future information. In this paper, we propose a Novel conceptual design for temporal data warehouse (TDW) including bitemporal data. Our solution provides a transformation method into temporal star and snowflake schemas, which incorporate features of object relational data warehouse and integrate Bitemporal data, to meet the requirement of integrating heterogeneous types of data to support decision making with an efficient manner. We have focused on the creation of a conceptual model for designing a temporal object-relational data warehouse based on UML technology and EER (Enhanced entity-relationship) model. The proposed method comprises a Meta Model using UML mechanism to express the varying time data in data warehousing applications that allow easily realizing and transforming the conceptual model into a logical design schema.
