MODULE CODE: CI6320 LEVEL: 6 CREDITS: 30

TITLE: Advanced Data Modelling

PRE-REQUISITES: CI5320 Database Driven Web Application


Development

CO-REQUISITES: None

MODULE SUMMARY (INDICATIVE):

This module will consolidate and build on previously acquired knowledge of


databases by analysing and evaluating important issues in the database area. In
addition, advanced aspects of data warehousing and data mining will be studied,
encompassing the principles and commercial application of the technologies.

AIMS (DEFINITIVE):
• To develop a critical understanding of advanced problems inherent in
database technologies.
• To gain a deeper perspective of the whole process of analysis, design and
implementation of a database system
• To evaluate the role of business intelligence applications and the underlying
data warehouse technology
• To gain knowledge of the key components of business intelligence techniques
and applications including data management, warehousing and OLAP.

LEARNING OUTCOMES (DEFINITIVE):

On successful completion of the module, students will be able to:

• Explain the practical and theoretical aspects of advanced topics in databases,


such as object-relational databases, data warehouses and distributed
databases.
• Create, implement and critically test and evaluate an advanced database
design.
• Distinguish the differences between an operational system (OLTP system)
and a data warehousing system (OLAP system).
• Recognise the relationship between an ERP system and a data warehouse
system.
• Identify the general data mining principles and techniques, and to be able to
apply them in different contexts.
• Describe the underlying concepts of unstructured databases (for example
NoSQL).

CURRICULUM CONTENT (INDICATIVE):

• Advanced Database Analysis and Design: Data analysis, conceptual data


models, logical data models, design decisions
• Use of SQL to create databases and manipulate the data held in a database
• Physical database design: Optimising database performance (reorganising
physical storage and optimising queries), file organizations and indexes,
denormalisation and controlled redundancy
• Object-relational and object-oriented databases.
• Data warehousing concepts: design, architectures, extraction, transform, load
cycle.
• Distributed database management systems
• Introduce goals of data mining and various stages of the data mining process.
• Date warehouse and DBMS. OLAP operations.
• Data preprocessing; data cleaning, data transformation and data reduction.
• Use NoSQL for very large sets of distributed data.

TEACHING AND LEARNING STRATEGY (INDICATIVE):

The module will be delivered through short lectures in addition to problem-solving


classes, discussion and weekly practical classes. The primary means of guiding and
facilitating students’ learning is either through two 2-hour lab-based session, or one
2-hour lecture and one 2-hour workshop each week.
Feedback will be provided by staff regularly during classes and in writing.

ASSESSMENT STRATEGY (INDICATIVE):

There are three strands of assessment: two courseworks and one examination. Both
courseworks are practical projects in which students build databases.
The first coursework involves the design and implementation of a database based on
an advanced case study. Students will be expected to design an advanced data
model and build the database from this design. The second coursework involves the
design and development of a data warehouse.

A final written examination allows students to demonstrate their understanding of


theoretical concepts, as well as their own individual progress.
