Abstract
This tutorial provided a taxonomy of data warehouse topologies and discussion of best practices for enterprise data warehouse deployment.  Characterization of performance, total cost of ownership, and business functionality were used to describe tradeoffs among various choices in topology and architecture deployment.  Implementation techniques using integrated, federated, and data mart architectures were discussed as well as the deployment of 4 distinct classes of meta data (end user meta data, design meta data, technical meta data and semantic meta data) which were described in the context of creating a single source of truth for enterprise decision making - across multiple lines of business and functionally oriented organizational boundaries.
