Can you modify a portlet for us? 

Yes

Let us know what else you want the portlet to do and we will give you an estimate for the work to be done.

Canonical model

A data model that represents the inherent structure of data without regard to either individual use or hardware or software implementation

Cardinality

no of unique rows divided by total no of columns

Cell

A single point in a CUBE.

Checking what is licensed on your SAS Server

If you ever want to know what is licensed on a SAS server you can run this little bit of code:

Compression

The process of reducing the volume of data managed without reducing the logical consistency of the data.

Conceptual Schema

A consistent collection of data structures expressing the data needs of the organization. This schema is a comprehensive, base level, and logical description of the environment in which an organization exists, free of physical structure and application system considerations.

Connector

A symbol used to indicate that one occurrence of data has a relationship with another occurrence of data. Connectors are used in conceptual data base design and can be implemented hierarchically, relationally, in an inverted fashion, or by a network.

Contention

Tthe condition that occurs when two or more programs (or people) try to access the same data at the same time.

Controlling OLAP Applications End to End

ABSTRACT

In SAS 9.2, there are several new features that help administrators to secure and control the use of OLAP Cubes in  a reporting environment. This paper highlights the following new and existing features:
  • ability to include or exclude members from aggregated values (parent values) 
  • member Level Security user interface
  • subsetting report data using Information Map Filters
  • roles controlling report functionality 
 
Controlling OLAP Applications End to End


Cooperative Processing

Tthe ability to distribute resources (programs, files and data bases) across the network.

Corporate Data

All the databases of the company.This includes legacy systems,old and new transaction systems,general business systems,client/server databases,data warehouses and data marts.

Corporate Information Warehouse (CIF)

The architectural framework that houses the ODS, data warehouse, data marts, i/t interface, and the operational environment. The cif is held together logically by metadata and physically by a network such as the Internet.

Cube

The fundamental structure for information in an OLAP system. A structure that stores multi-dimensional information, having one CELL for each possible combination of dimensions.

Dashboards and Visualisations

There are a lot of cool dashbaords and visualisation techiques being deployed by companies to allow users to gain the insight the need, from large volumes of data.

So as we find ones we like we list there here.  Some are SAS based many are not.

Data Cleansing

Removing errors and inconsistencies from data being inported to a data warehouse.

Data Dictionary

a software tool for recording the definition of data, the relationship of one category of data to another, the attributes and keys of groups of data, and so forth.
