Resumo


Few researches have been carried out to provide means of requirements acquisition and assessment in the novel field of data warehousing. This work proposes a methodology for requirements specification in the context of data warehouse systems, as a way to accomplish the peculiar aspects inherent to such systems. Moreover, a case study and its practical contributions in modeling a strategic information system for the Brazilian Government are presented.
