DESIGN OF A WEB SEMI-INTELLIGENT METADATA SEARCH MODEL APPLIED IN DATA WAREHOUSING SYSTEMS

In this paper, the design of a Web metadata search model with semi-intelligent features is proposed. The search model is oriented to retrieve the metadata associated to a data warehouse in a fast, flexible and reliable way. Our proposal includes a set of distinctive functionalities, which consist of the temporary storage of the frequently used metadata in an exclusive store, different to the global data warehouse metadata store, and of the use of control processes to retrieve information from both stores through aliases of concepts.
