Abstract
Management’s information requirements must be the focus of interest in any Data Warehouse based ROLAP system development process. For that reason the concepts required for the conceptual specification of ROLAP systems defining management’s information requirements and suitable representation formalisms supporting these concepts must be provided. Additionally an integrated framework is needed that depicts how these concepts and representations can be used in the sense of a methodically integrated development process focussing on both conceptual and implementational development phases. This framework is then used as basis for the implementation of tools supporting the methodical approach presented.
