For developing data warehouse (DW) and OnLine Analytical Processing (OLAP) systems, the dominant relational database reaches its limitations. On the way of the development, object-relational (O-R) database is preferred to get over those ones. This paper introduces metadata for data warehouse system on O-R database and specifies new kind of metadata for mapping from object-oriented environment to relational environment. We also present the storage structure for repository this new kind of metadata in O-R database.
