What kinds of data belong in a data warehouse? Data that comes from your mainframe or client/server computing systems, data that you use to manage your business, or any type of data that has value to your business. The idea behind the data warehouse is to capture all types of data into a central location. Once this is done you have the ability to link different types of data together and turn that data into valuable information that can be used for your business needs, analysis, discovery and planning.

Why would I want to access the data warehouse when I have a mainframe computing system? Your computing system is set up to handle subject specific day to day business and transaction processing, such as payroll or course registration. The reports created in this type of system are specific to the subject matter. The benefits to putting your data into the data warehouse include: • • • • •

Merging subject specific data together to create information Standardizing data across the University Improving turnaround time for reporting Lowering costs because you can produce your own reports instead of costly, centrally printed and distributed mainframe reports Sharing data or allowing others to easily access your data will free staff from the tasks of extracting data and reporting for other departments or colleges

What's metadata? What's a data dictionary? Metadata is data about data. Metadata gives you data element definitions, data layouts, and information about the data element's location. Data elements are the smallest unit of data that can be described, for example the zip code field within an address database record. The University's data warehouse refers to their metadata as data dictionaries. You can access the data dictionaries on the IDEA web page . Click on the Information button, then click on the Data Element Dictionary for the database of your choice.
