Event-Entity-Relationship Modeling in Data Warehouse Environments

We use the event-entity-relationship model (EVER) to illustrate the use of entity-based modeling languages for conceptual schema design in data warehouse environments. EVER is a general-purpose information modeling language that supports the specification of both general schema structures and multi-dimensional schemes that are customized to serve specific information needs. EVER is based on an event concept that is very well suited for multidimensional modeling because measurement data often represent events in multi-dimensional databases.
