Abstract

According to the invention, techniques for organizing information from systems in a data warehousing environment are provided. In a particular embodiment, the invention provides an apparatus for analyzing data in at least data source of an enterprise. The apparatus can include a meta model for an enterprise. The enterprise is typically a business activity, but can also be other loci of human activity. A data schema derived from the meta model can also be part of the apparatus. The apparatus can also include a database organized according to the data schema. The apparatus can translate data from a variety of sources to the data schema. The apparatus can incorporate data into the database and perform a variety of analyses on the data in the database.
