... resolve the issue. To overcome, the proposed method presents a new strategy to automate the multidimensional design of Data Warehouses; this algorithm uses an enterprise schema of an operational database as a starting point to design data warehouse schema. As a result, the user has to choose the candidate schema which meets the system requirements.
