Data Warehouse

A data warehouse is an electronic storage for databases that organizes large volumes of data into categories to support retrieval, interpretation, and sorting by end users. It provides an accessible archive to support dynamic organizational intelligence applications.

Data in a data warehouse must be continually updated to ensure that decision makers have access to the appropriate data for real-time decisions.

The more accessible the databases in the data warehouse, the more likely a researcher will use them to reveal patterns.
