Content
Organisations are increasingly relying on business analytics to get value from the very data they generate in their day to day operations. In order to gain maximum effective results from this data, it has to be reorganised to reflect this new use at the enterprise level rather than at the operational level. When data is reorganised to meet this need there is a real risk that the semantics of the data will be compromised and that data integrity can be violated. The reorganisation may also expose gaps in the operational data requiring an understanding of the impact such gaps may have and an evaluation of possible remedial measures. This unit will introduce students to these issues and techniques, such as sensitivity analysis, which can be used to address these problems. The Extract-Transform-Load process will be explored using features of the Oracle DBMS environment.
