4.0 out of 5 stars Can work out some kinks however good book.
Those who are interested in building their knowledge of how to exploit their data warehousing resources, and collaborating with the business stakeholders, Inmon provides some great examples and great suggetions for design.

2.0 out of 5 stars Better to look elsewhere
Obviously, you have to respect Bill Inmon's work in the Data Warehouse industry but I don't consider this book one of his better efforts.

This review is from: Exploration Warehousing: Turning Business Information into Business Opportunity (Hardcover)
Obviously, you have to respect Bill Inmon's work in the Data Warehouse industry but I don't consider this book one of his better efforts. It's rather short at 250 pages and there is plenty of filler from the oversize glossary to weak chapters on data mining and the politics of exploration processing. There are also a couple of chapters(Corporate Information Factory description, Chain of Beneficence)devoted to topics that have been published in many places and can be easily found, for free, on the net. The core Exploration Warehouse technology chapters are a bit dated as this technology is rapidly expanding. Overall, a very valuable technology but most of the same information can be found somewhere else on the Web.
