process. After that, the data is process and analyzed
by using Pattern 2 and Pattern 3. After that, all that is
left, is for Municipality B to use the output data from
Pattern 3 and use it for their own data visualization
purposes that is made into a new pattern – Pattern 5.
By using the pattern approach that is at the base of
the framework, it is possible to provide a shareable
solution for other business cases, that municipalities
are interested in (as seen in Figure 5 and described in
the example). And not only for municipalities, but for
different BI environments as well, where knowledge
sharing can be an important factor. Overall, the
framework can be used as guidelines to implementing
knowledge sharing solutions and understanding how
to use or create new patterns with implemented
knowledge sharing.
7 CONCLUSIONS AND FUTURE
WORK
The groundwork for designing an analytical data
warehouse for the use of e-municipalities has been
proposed. An approach for knowledge sharing with
the help of patterns has been analyzed, research and
developed. Based on the results, the pattern approach
seems to have potential and could be used to provide
complete solutions that are based on multiple smaller
solutions derived from patterns.
The results of the research project will be tested,
and a demonstration for the pattern approach and the
analytical data warehouse will be developed based on
the case studies proposed in this paper.
