Goal Oriented Approaches in Data Warehouse Requirements Engineering: A Review

Requirements engineering (RE) is an important phase for data warehouse development. Earlier, DW development did not emphasize on RE phase. In recent past, several authors have suggested to give prime importance to this phase. Various approaches have been proposed for Data Warehouse Requirements Engineering which may be categorised as goal-driven, user-driven, mixed-driven etc. In this paper, we provide a detailed and updated review of goal oriented requirements engineering approaches proposed till date. It also provides a deep insight into goal oriented approaches through comparative analysis, which can be fruitful for enhancing the research in this field.
