The development of a data warehouse has been traditionally guided by an in-depth analysis of the underlying operational datasources, thus overlooking an explicit development phase in which information requirements of decision makers are addressed. This scenario hasprompted that the deployed data warehouse often fails in delivering the expected support of the decision making process. To overcome this problem, we propose to use the i* modeling framework and themodel drivenarchitecture(MDA) in order to describe (i) how to model goals and information requirements for data warehouses, and (ii) how to derive aconceptual multidimensional model that provides the required information to support the decision making process.
