• Part I Fundamental Concepts.- 1 Introduction.- 2 Database Concepts.- 3 Data Warehouse Concepts.- 4 Conceptual Data Warehouse Design.- 5 Logical Data Warehouse Design.- 6 Querying Data Warehouses.- Part II Implementation and Deployment.- 7 Physical Data Warehouse Design.- 8 Extraction, Transformation and Loading.- 9 Data Analytics: Exploiting the Data Warehouse.- 10 A Method for Data Warehouse Design.- Part III Advanced Topics.- 11 Spatial Data Warehouses.- 12 Trajectory Data Warehouses.- 13 New Data Warehouse Technologies.- 14 Data Warehouses and the Semantic Web.- 15 Conclusion.

"The book is very well suited for one or more data warehouse courses, ranging from the most basic to the most advanced. It has all the features that are necessary to make a good textbook. (...) The one thing which really set this book apart from its peers is the coverage of advanced data warehouse topics (...) The book also provides a useful overview of novel "Big Data" technologies like Hadoop, and novel database and data warehouse architectures like in-memory databases, column stores, and right-time data warehouses." from the foreword by Torben Bach Pedersen, Aalborg Universiteit, Denmark
