Inmon style
Inmon style refers to an approach in designing data warehouses, created by Bill Inmon. It organizes data into a centralized, comprehensive database called a "corporate information factory," where data is stored in a normalized format. This structure allows for flexible, consistent, and reliable reporting and analysis across an entire organization. Think of it as building a detailed, well-organized archive of all company data first, which then supports various departments in extracting insights. This method emphasizes data integrity and a solid foundation for future data expansion and analysis needs.
