2. Snowflake schema - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowflake_schema

   In computing, a snowflake schema or snowflake model is a logical arrangement of tables in a multidimensional database such that the entity relationship diagram resembles a snowflake shape. The snowflake schema is represented by centralized fact tables which are connected to multiple dimensions .

3. Data architecture - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_architecture

   A data architecture aims to set data standards for all its data systems as a vision or a model of the eventual interactions between those data systems. Data integration , for example, should be dependent upon data architecture standards since data integration requires data interactions between two or more data systems.

4. Star schema - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_schema

   The star schema is an important special case of the snowflake schema, and is more effective for handling simpler queries. [2] The star schema gets its name from the physical model's [3] resemblance to a star shape with a fact table at its center and the dimension tables surrounding it representing the star's points.

5. Database schema - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_schema

   The term "schema" refers to the organization of data as a blueprint of how the database is constructed (divided into database tables in the case of relational databases). The formal definition of a database schema is a set of formulas (sentences) called integrity constraints imposed on a database.

6. OLAP cube - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OLAP_cube

   An OLAP cube is a multi-dimensional array of data. [1] Online analytical processing (OLAP) [ 2 ] is a computer-based technique of analyzing data to look for insights. The term cube here refers to a multi-dimensional dataset, which is also sometimes called a hypercube if the number of dimensions is greater than three.

7. Dimensional modeling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimensional_modeling

   Dimensional models are more denormalized and optimized for data querying, while normalized models seek to eliminate data redundancies and are optimized for transaction loading and updating. The predictable framework of a dimensional model allows the database to make strong assumptions about the data which may have a positive impact on performance.
