Information Filters Supplying Data Warehouses with Benchmarking Information

  • Chapter
Knowledge Discovery for Business Information Systems

Abstract

Alphanumeric data contained within a data warehouse represents “structured content”. In contrast, the web is mostly composed of static pages of text and images, generally referred to as “unstructured content”. As information systems grow to deliver better decision support, adding the unstructured content from the web to the structured content from the data warehouse becomes an important issue. In this chapter we establish the framework for supplying data warehouses with relevant information filtered from the web.
