Transforming Logical Data Models into Physical Data Models Susan Dash Ralph Reilly IT610-1404A-01 According to an article written by Tom Haughey the process for transforming a logical data model into a physical data model is: The business authorization to proceed is received. Business requirements are gathered and represented in a logical data model which will completely represent the business data requirements and will be non-redundant. The logical model is then transformed into a first cut physical

In the late 1970s data-flow diagrams (DFDs) were introduced and popularized for structured analysis and design (Gane and Sarson 1979). DFDs show the flow of data from external entities into the system‚ showed how the data moved from one process to another‚ as well as its logical storage. Figure 1 presents an example of a DFD using the Gane and Sarson notation. There are only four symbols: Squares representing external entities‚ which are sources or destinations of data. Rounded rectangles

Data Warehousing Failures Eight studies of data warehousing failures are presented. They were written based on interviews with people who were associated with the projects. The extent of the failure varies with the organization‚ but in all cases‚ the project was at least a disappointment. Read the cases and prepare a one or two page discussion of the following: 1. What’s the scope of what can be considered a data warehousing failure? Discuss. 2. What generalizations apply across
