BI Jargon

There are countless of 'BI jargon' used in communicating the technical aspect of datawarehousing and these terms are not to be taken for granted if we want to truly appreciate the art and value of a good business intelligence architecture.

Some of the terms I want to list down are:
LSA - Also known as the next generation of datawarehousing stands for Layer Scalable Architecture. Most organizations with global footprint are considering this to be the way how the datawarehouse architecture should be.LSA consist of 5 main layers namely Data Acquisition Layer,Corporate Memory Layer, Propagation Layer (contain original 'unflavored' data ), Transformation Layer and Reporting Layer. This article explains everything about LSA.

Timestamped record - Discrete vs Continuous

Nonvolatile records - Data in datawarehouse is not subject to change in contrast with OLTP
