Business Intelligence Framework: Data Model

You can review the metadata model for Business Intelligence Framework.

The Data Model is a metadata model that provides:

• A single administration point for metadata supporting Cognos® 8 reports
• Centralized business rule definitions for maintenance and consistency
• Access to data from several different types of sources
• Expanded querying and reporting capabilities
• Centralized data access setup (permissions)

You can extend the basic Data Model to include other tables from the Sterling™ Order Management System Software Database.
