Comparative Study and Analysis of Federated and Non-federated Data Warehouse Architecture
Data warehouse is a repository of an organization's electronically stored data. Data warehouses are designed to facilitate reporting and analysis. A data warehouse houses standardized, consistent, clean and integrated form of data sourced from various operational systems in use in the organization, structured in a way to specially address the reporting and analytic requirements. In this paper we performed a comparative analysis of federated vs other architectures to find their usefulness in business. We investigated thoroughly the advantages and disadvantages to clearly distinguish the various organizationally implemented data warehouse architectures
Integrating data warehouses with web data : a survey
This paper surveys the most relevant research on combining Data Warehouse (DW) and Web data. It studies the XML
technologies that are currently being used to integrate, store, query, and retrieve Web data and their application to DWs. The paper
reviews different DW distributed architectures and the use of XML languages as an integration tool in these systems. It also introduces
the problem of dealing with semistructured data in a DW. It studies Web data repositories, the design of multidimensional databases for
XML data sources, and the XML extensions of OnLine Analytical Processing techniques. The paper addresses the application of
information retrieval technology in a DW to exploit text-rich document collections. The authors hope that the paper will help to discover
the main limitations and opportunities that offer the combination of the DW and the Web fields, as well as to identify open research

Supporting security-oriented, inter-disciplinary research: crossing the social, clinical and geospatial domains
How many people have had a chronic disease for longer than 5-years in Scotland? How has this impacted upon their choices of employment? Are there any geographical clusters in Scotland where a high-incidence of patients with such long-term illness can be found? How does the life expectancy of such individuals compare with the national averages? Such questions are important to understand the health of nations and the best ways in which health care should be delivered and measured for their impact and success. In tackling such research questions, e-Infrastructures need to provide tailored, secure access to an extensible range of distributed resources including primary and secondary e-Health clinical data; social science data, and geospatial data sets amongst numerous others. In this paper we describe the security models underlying these e-Infrastructures and demonstrate their implementation in supporting secure, federated access to a variety of distributed and heterogeneous data sets exploiting the results of a variety of projects at the National e-Science Centre (NeSC) at the University of Glasgow
Improving lifecycle query in integrated toolchains using linked data and MQTT-based data warehousing
The development of increasingly complex IoT systems requires large
engineering environments. These environments generally consist of tools from
different vendors and are not necessarily integrated well with each other. In
order to automate various analyses, queries across resources from multiple
tools have to be executed in parallel to the engineering activities. In this
paper, we identify the necessary requirements on such a query capability and
evaluate different architectures according to these requirements. We propose an
improved lifecycle query architecture, which builds upon the existing Tracked
Resource Set (TRS) protocol, and complements it with the MQTT messaging
protocol in order to allow the data in the warehouse to be kept updated in
real-time. As part of the case study focusing on the development of an IoT
automated warehouse, this architecture was implemented for a toolchain
integrated using RESTful microservices and linked data.Comment: 12 pages, worksho
