Abstract

Data warehouses are decision support systems that are specifically designed for the business managers and executives for reporting and business analysis. Data warehouse is a database that stores enterprise-wide data that can be used to deduce useful information. Business organizations can achieve a great level of competitive advantage by analyzing its historical data and learning from it. However data warehouse concept is still maturing as a technology. In order to effectively design and implement a data warehouse for an organization, its goal needs to be understood and requirement must be analyzed in the perspective of the identified goal. In this paper we present a goal structured model for requirements engineering that also enables its users to manage traceability between the goals, decisions, business strategy and the corresponding business model.
