Problem
The e-Baby Data Warehouse: A Case Study. As the authors relate, this paper describes "the architecture developed to collect, store, and display high frequency stream data supplied by multiple disparate devices to facilitate further analysis of the captured data. Data collection is via the use of 'data sockets' that enable the extraction of data from disparate databases and complex medical machinery. Data storage is through the use of a Data Warehouse. The User Interface is accessible via a secure Intranet/Internet browser." Your goal is to evaluate this project with respect to what you have learned in this course. Specifically, you should comment on:
I. The architectural type used
II. The potential issues that could occur with data extraction, transformation, and loading
III. The potential data quality issues present
IV. The use of metadata
V. The appropriate types of schemas to be used
VI. How information was matched to the user classes
VII. The role of OLAP in the project
VIII. Potential issues concerning Intranet delivery
IX. Data-mining implications
X. Deployment and maintenance issues In situations where the case did not specifically provide detail about a given aspect, you should provide recommendations as to how address those aspects.
