ABSTRACT
The dimensional modeling paradigm described in Chapter 2 provides a mechanism for developing a flexible and robust data warehouse for any knowledge domain or industry sector. The source data analysis described in Chapter 3 provides an ontological basis for defining the requirements for a data warehouse in the biomedical arena. This chapter integrates those two perspectives to logically describe the actual dimensional data warehouse that my client healthcare and bioscience organizations implement. Chapter 5 will describe the physical implementation of this logical model.
