Towards a Methodology for Requirements Analysis of Data Warehouse Systems

Few researches have been carried out to provide means of requirements acquisition and assessment in the novel field of data warehousing. This work proposes a methodology for requirements specification in the context of data warehouse systems, as a way to accomplish the peculiar aspects inherent to such systems. Moreover, a case study and its practical contributions in modeling a strategic information system for the Brazilian Government are presented.
