Web Warehousing and Knowledge Management (Enterprise Computing Series)

Rob Mattison cuts through the hype that surrounds data warehousing and data analysis; he explores the software tools that provide the ability--IQ and Aperio--and he reviews IBM's various data mining tools. This book--particularly the section on Online Analytical Processing [OLAP] reports--cries out for information on putting Extensible Markup Language (XML) to work in data warehouse applications. But that's a small shortcoming. If you're working on a Web-centric data warehouse, or even thinking about one, you'll absorb the information here in a flash. --David Wall
