Abstract
One of the most challenging prospects facing the Data Warehouse (DW) project is the integration of heterogeneous data from different sources. The database community has spent years researching the integration of heterogeneous and distributed data. Heterogeneous Database Management Systems (HDBMS) have been presented as one of the solutions to this problem. In this paper, we propose an architecture for DW systems using a HDBMS as the middleware for data integration. This architecture uses a subset of Common Warehouse Metamodel (CWM) specification in order to provide more semantic to data integration according to a standard proposal. A case study presenting the use of the proposed architecture is also shown.
