2 Logical Data Model of Oracle Retail Data Model

The logical data model defines the business entities and their relationships to provide a clear understanding of the business and data requirements for the data warehouse.

This chapter includes the following sections:

Overview of Retail Data Model Entity Types

Entity types correspond to table types in Oracle Retail Data Model. Figure 2-1 shows different table types and table population steps in Oracle Retail Data Model.

Figure 2-1 Entity Types and Populating Oracle Retail Data Model Tables

Description of Figure 2-1 follows
Description of "Figure 2-1 Entity Types and Populating Oracle Retail Data Model Tables"

Note:

Figure 2-1 shows a "generic" Oracle Industry Data Model data flow. In contrast to the data flow shown Figure 2-1, Oracle Retail Data Model has all aggregate tables defined from "derived" tables and "reference" tables (dimensions). However, if you customize Oracle Retail Data Model to create a new aggregate table, for which a derived table does exist, then the new table could be defined from the base, reference, lookup, or possibly from external tables as shown in Figure 2-1. For more information on Oracle Retail Data Model customization, see Oracle Retail Data Model Implementation and Operations Guide.

Reference Entities

Reference Entities define the entities within, and associated with the retail organization for which data would be recorded and analyzed. Reference entities record the structure of the retail organization and all people, products, and organizations associated with it.

Lookup Entities

Lookup entities hold the descriptions for frequently used attributes. Using lookup entities saves space, as the referring fact table holds only a small key or code and foreign key, and Oracle Retail Data Model stores the space consuming description in a lookup entity table and does not repeat the description in each transaction row in which it is referenced.

Base Entities

Base entities contain atomic level transaction data. Base entities could be leveraged as an Operational Data Store (ODS) and as a system of record. Data in the base entities support the derived and aggregate layers to facilitate Star and population, and act as a source for Data Mining for advanced analysis.

Derived Entities

Derived entities contain information drawn from one or more base entities, and can contain denormalized and/or transposed data. Granularity is partially aggregated, typically at day level, but in some cases at quarter hour level or partially aggregated transactional data from the base entities.

Aggregate Entities

Aggregate entities hold data rolled up from the Base or Derived entities at different levels across different dimensional hierarchies.
