Abstract

Traditionally, a goal-oriented approach follows the goal decomposition technique to build a goal hierarchy in order to identify the schema for a data warehouse. In our earlier work, using reverse engineering approach, a goal hierarchy was built for an existing data warehouse schema using a single query session. The tasks of this hierarchy address some part of the warehouse. In this paper, we address the issue of identifying the next session to build a goal hierarchy. The sessions which provide the tasks and information goals distinct from existing goal hierarchy are desirable. To identify such a session, we define distance between sessions. The session whose distance from the current session is maximum is picked up.
