This is a table of contents of useful information about data modeling using InetSoft's business intelligence software for dashboards, reporting, and analytics, Style Intelligence:
Accessing Multidimensional Databases - The multidimensional database is another way to provide data for OLAP operations. Taking the place of tables in relational databases, multidimensional databases organize data into cubes that contain measures and dimensions...
Accessing Non-relational Data Sources - Data is stored in many different formats. Java Objects, CORBA, and EJB are present in legacy systems, Web Services and XML are the new standards for sharing information over the internet, and Excel is a popular data analysis and manipulation tool...
Accessing Web Service Data Sources - Web Services have proven increasingly efficient in sharing data among distributed applications in a hybrid language environment. The functionalities are made accessible over the web using SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol)...
Accessing CORBA Data Sources - With its multiple language binding, CORBA is a platform for building distributed applications in a hybrid language environment. Combined with the platform independence of Java; CORBA facilitates the development of truly portable applications...
Accessing EJB Data Sources - Enterprise JavaBeans™(EJB) introduced a new way of writing server side Java applications. Using application servers supporting the EJB platform, an application can concentrate on creating business logic, and rely on the application servers’ middle tier services...
Accessing Text Data Sources - Text data sources are used to describe data in delimited text files. The text data is accessed using a URL in the same way as XML files. All delimited files are treated as a table. Each line is converted to a table row, and the delimited fields...
Accessing Java Object Data Sources - A Java Object Data Source is useful when your data cannot be accessed via common standards JDBC, SOAP, XML or if you have a pre-existing JAVA API to which you wish to connect. Creating a Java Object data source requires, at minimum, the creation of a Data Loader class...
Accessing POJO Data Sources - Data Loader based on DataLoader2 interface The DataLoader2 interface is used to extract data which has a flat tabular structure as opposed to data with an inherent hierarchy. It is the simplest way to extract tabular data, without requiring any...
Advice on Data Mashups - That's a very good point. William, what Malcolm has just been talking about is very interesting, this source data analysis stuff, I wonder, you know we had a show a couple of weeks ago on data profiling and the importance of data profiling, I wonder if mashups can be used in that whole process. Especially when you have these very large organizations that have so many data sources...
Creating a Hierarchical OLAP Overlay - Creating an OLAP overlay is straightforward. The Hierarchy tab of the logical model provides an interface to create the overlay. Entities and attributes are listed in the left pane in a tree structure...
Data Management Solution Features - What are the key features successful users of BI need in their data management solutions? Companies need to be able to accommodate the perpetual trend of growth of their data sets. The average growth of corporate databases each year has been running around 25% per year. In most cases, they need to have a data transformation and cleansing process in place, and they need to be able to optimize queries that their BI applications are making on these large data stores...
