Abstract:
In data warehouse implementations the comprehensive identification of user requirements is a critical success factor. The translation of business problems into conceptual data models is very challenging and currently there are no information systems that assist in these tasks. In this research, we therefore elaborate on the challenges in that specific area and develop an information system to gather information needs and automatically transform them into conceptual multidimensional data models. We then demonstrate the use of the information system within the domain of Human Resource Management.
