Abstract
We present our tool, GEM, for assisting designers in the error-prone and time-consuming tasks carried out at the early stages of a data warehousing project. Our tool semi-automatically produces multidimensional (MD) and ETL conceptual designs from a given set of business requirements (like SLAs) and data source descriptions. Subsequently, our tool translates both the MD and ETL conceptual designs produced into physical designs, so they can be further deployed on a DBMS and an ETL engine. In this paper, we describe the system architecture and present our demonstration proposal by means of an example.
