Domains: sectors that will use the data warehouse (e.g., Sales Department). The
form MAS_DOM is produced, with fields domain name, domain responsible, contact
information, and relevance (a number between 1 and 5) of the domain within
the organization. For example, in our case study, the MAS_DOM form contains
the line
, stating that Jose Hernandez is
responsible for the Sales domain (with domain id D1), can be contacted on phone
extension 2162, and the domain has the highest importance (5).
b. Quality.dimensions: The final set of quality dimensions to be considered,
taking into account organizational policies, goals, scope, development time,
and preferences. This may imply pruning the initial set of requirements. The
form MAS_QTY is produced. In our running example, four quality dimensions
were chosen: Accuracy, Timeliness, Consistency, and Completeness.
c. Initial.data.dictionary: An initial collection of terms that will become the
common vocabulary to be used throughout the software development cycle.
The form DIC_DATA is produced. A sample record in the data dictionary for
the ???Los Andes??? project is , stating
that there is a data element with id = D5, denoted customer, representing a
customer??™s name, and referred also with the alias account.
