Common warehouse metamodel : developer's guide

This authoritative guide will show you how to develop interoperable data warehouse and business intelligence applications using the Common Warehouse Metamodel (CWM) specification. It provides you with clear explanations of how to implement CWM solutions for meta data interchange within your software products and use CWM-enabled tools in the construction of a corporate data warehouse, information factory, or supply chain. You'll find detailed descriptions of four models of data warehousing that greatly benefit from a standards-based approach to meta data integration.
