Definition: Warehouse approach

Category: General concept

The warehouse approach provides the means to store data once, but use it for multiple purposes. A data warehouse treats information as a reusable asset. Its underlying data model is not specific to a particular reporting or analytic requirement. Instead of focusing on a process-oriented design, the underlying repository design is modelled based on data inter-relationships that are fundamental to the organisation across processes. http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/ramon/coded_files/TERMS-IN-STATISTICS_version_4-0.pdf
