Abstract
In this paper we consider the construction of a dimensional data warehouse. The warehouse is built beginning with the first data mart and proceeding in an iterative manner constructing one mart at a time. In this way the warehouse is seen to evolve over time. This evolutionary process is necessary due to the complexity of data stores, relationships, transformations, and the processing involved. In this paper we consider the problem of identifying the next data mart to construct and present a tool based on Quality Function Deployment for use in the planning stages.
