Business Intelligence Needs
• Track inventory over time by product and supplier
• Calculate inventory measures over time using
quantity on hand and value
• Report on additions to inventory (purchases)
• No reporting on deletions to inventory (orders)

Information Systems Program


Important Design Decisions
• Grain determination and relative size calculations
• Simplification using design transformations
• Mappings from source data to populate data
warehouse tables

Information Systems Program


Grain Size Calculations
Fact table size
• Use sizes of dimensions and
estimate sparsity
• Fill Ratio: 1 - Sparsity
• Fact Table Size: Product of
dimension sizes times fill ratio

Sparsity
• Match fact table to source tables
• Use sizes of dimensions and
source table
• Fill Ratio: Source table size
divided by product of dimension
table sizes
• Sparsity: 1 – Fill Ratio

Information Systems Program


Transformations for Table Design
Flatten Merge
• Purchase and • Merge Supplier table
PurchLine tables and Supp column
• Products grouped by • Merge Product table
date columns and
(PurchDate and ProdCode/ProdDesc
DelDate) columns
• Merge flattened table
with spreadsheet rows

Summarizability Problems
• Incomplete fact-dimension relationship (delivery
date)
• Potential problems for hierarchical product
dimension (brand, product type)
• Missing values for supplier and product
dimensions (product type, supplier phone, and
email)

Mappings from Source Data

• Source column
Association matching
s • Conversions

• Generated PK
values
Additions • Default values
• Derived values

12

Information Systems Program


Schema Integration Assignment
• Like the practice case
• Artifacts
– Dimensional design with dimensions and members
– Grain analysis
– ERD integrating data sources with indication of design
transformations
– Summarizability problems and resolutions
– Mapping from data sources
– Population of DW tables using sample data from data
sources
13

Information Systems Program


Summary
• Mini case study to help apply and integrate
concepts and skills
• Case study requirements and data sources
• Concept extensions
– Grain size
– Mapping source data to data warehouse

14

Information Systems Program


Grain Size Determination
• Determine sparsity
– Given dimension cardinalities and source table
cardinality
– Associate fact table to tables of data source
– 1 minus source table cardinality divided by product of
dimension cardinalities
• Determine fact table size
– Given dimension cardinalities and sparsity estimate
– Product of dimension cardinalities
– Reduce by sparsity
