Abstract

This paper abstracts the modelling approaches and techniques used in modelling Dimensional Models in a BI data warehousing environment using FBM grammar to enable analysis and harmonization and assist information architects to bridge FBM concepts in Dimensional Modelling. The resulting FBM model allows us to distill the concepts, relationships and business rules, and in particular, create a graphic supported grammar to enable analysis and recognize the strengths and weakness of dimensional modelling.
