DataVault - Next step in data Modelling

Today i was going thourgh the learndatavault.com website to understand more about datavault modelling. It was very interesting and exiciting facts which i have pratically come accross during project implementations.

The major problems involved in maintaining a data warehouse clearly address and give flexibility to organization to maintain the datasets for a longer period of time.

Today Major problems with Datawarehouse's Designs:

1) Flexibility to modify
2) Fast Query processing
3) Maintaining the sanity of the datasets when business rules changes.
4) Processing huge volumes.( Star schemas has problem of summing up & 3 NF has problem of storage due to huge number of tables. Ex: Teradata FSLDM has hundred's of tables .. )

DataVault a simple Hub-Link-Satellite model provides a Genetic helix like structure which can adapt and modify it self for the changing business rules. This is an interesting design paradiagm which i would learn and further write on my blog with my understanding. Keep tuned.

Some reference for your readings: ( Also avaliable on the wiki page ).
