Abstract


A data warehouse project is a great and complex task whose success is closely related to the understanding of the several steps that compose the development process of such environments. In this job we show a methodology for data warehouse design whose main objective is a proposition of lines of direction that guide the designer during the whole process. The main advantages of this proposal in relation of others available in literature are its applicability, completeness and the ability to use a development tool during the whole process. A case study is used to show the methodology and to facilitate its understanding.
