cannot recall the term used for a very detailed, highly disciplined data warehousing approach that includes processes

Hi, this is embarrassing but there is a discipline out there that in addition to data, captures something about processes and perhaps workflows in the warehouse as well.

I looked at it years ago, thought it had some merit, would be expensive and in some installations might possibly be overkill.

Does anybody remember what it is called? I want to do a re read.

    There are many. Without knowing more details it is hard to guess.

    "Data Vault" is one I have used in the past. I would not really recommend it for most implementations.

    Hi @db042190 ,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!
    Since what you said is not very clear, I found some articles for your reference. You can read them and check if what you want to ask is in these articles.

    I hope these articles can point you in the right direction.

    Best regards,

    thx anyway seeyaxi, i'll pass on reading the articles. i think as soon as someone who has seen and worked on that approach to building warehouses sees the question, they will post the answer. I'll try to find the name myself also when time permits. even the design diagrams for such design have special figures as i recall for processes and work flows. Its a very disciplined and detailed approach to designing warehouses, at least as i recall.
