Data Stores, Data Warehousing, and the Zachman Framework: Managing Enterprise Knowledge (McGraw-Hill Series on Data Warehousing and Data Management)

Inmon is considered the father of the data warehouse concept, and here teams up with John A Zachman of framework fame, and warehouse practitioner Jonathon G. Geiger to explain how a company can spin data into information. They discuss such matters as the importance of data architecture, how the Zachman Framework has enhanced the role of data administration, migrating legacy systems, and applying the Framework to support total quality management and reengineering efforts.
