Warehousing the Dental Materials Data: A Prototype
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 February 2011
Abstract
This paper presents a preliminary investigation on the effectiveness of the new data management technique of data warehousing in organizing dental materials data in order to provide the efficient information services such as data retrieval and materials selection. A scaled-down version of the data warehouse for dental materials is constructed and an English Query application, which allows the end users to formulate their queries in natural English language, is developed on top of the data warehouse. The data warehouse supports five types of queries from basic practice of data retrieval to more advanced information service of materials selection. The results have demonstrated that the data warehousing technique is of a great potential in storing, processing and managing dental materials data.
