Extending a Metamodel for Formalization of Data Warehouse Requirements

2014

In performance measurement systems that are built on top of a data warehouse, the information requirements in natural language are different performance indicators that should be stored and analyzed. We use the requirement formalization metamodel to create a formal requirement repository out of information requirements in natural language. In the course of this research we tested the compatibility of the existing requirement formalization metamodel applying it to a set of over 150 requirements for the currently operating data warehouse project. As a result, we extended the formal specification of information requirements with some additional classes like themes, grouping, and requirement pr…

Query-Driven Method for Improvement of Data Warehouse Conceptual Model

2013

We propose a query-driven method that elicits the information requirements from existing queries on data sources and their usage statistics. Our method presumes that the queries against the source database reflect the analysis needs of users. We use this method to recommend changes to the existing data warehouse schemata. In our method, we take advantage of the schema versioning approach to reflect all changes that occur in the analysed process, and we analyse the activity of users in the source system, rather than changes in physical data structure, to infer the necessary improvements to the data warehouse schema.

Loģistikas sistēmas risinājuma izstrādāšana programmā MS Dynamics Axapta

2016

MS Dynamics Axapta ir viens no uzņēmumu resursu pārvaldības(angliski – EPR, enterprise resource planning) programmatūras produktiem, kuru izmanto biznesa vadībā. Produkts ietilpst Microsoft Dynamics „ģimenē”. MS Dynamics Axapta tradicionāli sastāv no konkrētām daļām – moduļiem(kopumā 19 pamatmoduļi), kas, tiekot izstrādātām jaunākajām versijām, pamatā nemainās, veidojot vienu un to pašu kodolu, kas ļauj speciālistiem strādāt ar dažāda gada versijām. Šie moduļi ir(kopš Axapta 2.5 versijas): 1)Galvenā virsgrāmata – virsgrāmata,tirdzniecības nodokļi,valūtas,pamatlīdzekļu funkcijas; 2)Banku pārvaldība - saņem un izmaksā naudu; 3)Debitori - pasūtījumi, preču pārvadāšana, rēķini; 4)Kreditori – pi…

Big Data as a Driver for Clinical Decision Support Systems: A Learning Health Systems Perspective

2018

Big data technologies are nowadays providing health care with powerful instruments to gather and analyze large volumes of heterogeneous data collected for different purposes, including clinical care, administration, and research. This makes possible to design IT infrastructures that favor the implementation of the so-called “Learning Healthcare System Cycle,” where healthcare practice and research are part of a unique and synergic process. In this paper we highlight how “Big Data enabled” integrated data collections may support clinical decision-making together with biomedical research. Two effective implementations are reported, concerning decision support in Diabetes and in Inherited Arrh…

Information Requirements for Big Data Projects: A Review of State-of-the-Art Approaches

2018

Big data technologies are rapidly gaining popularity and become widely used, thus, making the choice of developing methodologies including the approaches for requirements analysis more acute. There is a position that in the context of the Data Warehousing (DW), similar to other Decision Support Systems (DSS) technologies, defining information requirements (IR) can increase the chances of the project to be successful with its goals achieved. This way, it is important to examine this subject in the context of Big data due to the lack of research in the field of Big data requirements analysis. This paper gives an overview of the existing methods associated with Big data technologies and requir…

Faking personality profiles on a standard personality inventory

2009

Abstract A study is reported which investigates the fakeability of personality profiles as measured by a standard personality inventory, the Freiburger Personlichkeitsinventar (FPI). Unlike previous studies investigating laypersons' ability to fake a global good or bad impression, the present study examined individuals' ability to fake a specific personality profile. Four groups of subjects were instructed to fake their FPI scores so as to present themselves as high vs low scorers on the “social orientation” dimension or high vs low scorers on the “achievement orientation” dimension. The results clearly demonstrate that subjects are successful in manipulating their scores on the critical di…

Development of Data Warehouse Conceptual Models

2011

There are many methods in the area of data warehousing to define requirements for the development of the most appropriate conceptual model of a data warehouse. There is no universal consensus about the best method, nor are there accepted standards for the conceptual modeling of data warehouses. Only few conceptual models have formally described methods how to get these models. Therefore, problems arise when in a particular data warehousing project, an appropriate development approach, and a corresponding method for the requirements elicitation, should be chosen and applied. Sometimes it is also necessary not only to use the existing methods, but also to provide new methods that are usable i…

The Aggregate and Distributional Effects of Financial Globalization: Evidence from Macro and Sectoral Data

2018

We take a fresh look at the aggregate and distributional effects of policies to liberalize international capital flows—financial globalization. Both country- and industry-level results suggest that such policies have led on average to limited output gains while contributing to significant increases in inequality—that is, they pose an equity–efficiency trade-off. Behind this average lies considerable heterogeneity in effects depending on country characteristics. Liberalization increases output in countries with high financial depth and those that avoid financial crises, while distributional effects are more pronounced in countries with low financial depth and inclusion and where libera…

Measuring readiness for entrepreneurship: An information tool proposal

2016

Abstract A profound review of the literature on entrepreneurship reveals that it does not exist a specific information tool to measure the individuals’ readiness for entrepreneurship. The purpose of this research has been building such kind of instrument to estimate the individuals’ readiness for entrepreneurship. Its design takes in consideration the inclusion of the main variables identified by the literature as those most associated with entrepreneurial profiles. These variables have been grouped into three categories: sociological, psychological and managerial-entrepreneurial. Each group provides batteries of items which are evaluated thanks to a specific scoring system. The final objec…
