Enterprise Architecture Ontology For Supply Chain Maintenance And Restoration Of The Sikorsky's Uh-60 Helicopter, James A. Rodger

James Rodger

Ontologies have emerged as an important tool in the Enterprise architecture discipline to provide the theoretical foundations for designing and representing the enterprise as a whole or a specific area or domain, in a scientific fashion. This paper examines the domain of maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) of the Sikorsky UH-60 helicopter involving multiple enterprises, and represents it through an ontology using the OWL Language and Protégé tool. The resulting ontology gives a formal and unambiguous model/representation of the MRO domain that can be used by multiple par- ties to arrive at a common shared conceptualization of the MRO domain. …

Data Warehouse As A Backbone For Business Intelligence: Issues And Challenges, Mutaz M. Al-Debei

Dr. Mutaz M. Al-Debei

The aim of this research is to identify and classify the main issues and challenges facing different business organizations when implementing Data Warehouse (DW) technologies. This is highly significant given the theoretical and practical implications and importance of such technologies. It is also important to highlight these challenges given the scarcity of research in this domain despite its value. To determine DW issues and challenges, a qualitative research methodology was followed. A semi-structured interview protocol was used with 17 DW project managers and seniors’ members. The gathered data were analyzed by utilizing a bottom-up content analysis technique where content is …
