The concept of data warehousing dates back to the late 1980s[9] when IBM

researchers Barry Devlin and Paul Murphy developed the "business data
warehouse". In essence, the data warehousing concept was intended to provide
an architectural model for the flow of data from operational systems to decision
support environments. The concept attempted to address the various problems
associated with this flow, mainly the high costs associated with it. In the
absence of a data warehousing architecture, an enormous amount of
redundancy was required to support multiple decision support environments. In
larger corporations it was typical for multiple decision support environments to
operate independently. Though each environment served different users, they
often required much of the same stored data. The process of gathering,
cleaning and integrating data from various sources, usually from long-term
existing operational systems (usually referred to as legacy systems), was
typically in part replicated for each environment. Moreover, the operational
systems were frequently reexamined as new decision support requirements
emerged. Often new requirements necessitated gathering, cleaning and
integrating new data from "data marts" that were tailored for ready access by
users.

Key developments in early years of data warehousing were:

1960s General Mills and Dartmouth College, in a joint research project,

develop the terms dimensions and facts.[10]
1970s ACNielsen and IRI provide dimensional data marts for retail sales.
[10]
1970s Bill Inmon begins to define and discuss the term: Data Warehouse.
[citation needed]
1975 Sperry Univac introduces MAPPER (MAintain, Prepare, and Produce
Executive Reports) is a database management and reporting system that
includes the world's first 4GL. First platform designed for building Information
Centers (a forerunner of contemporary Enterprise Data Warehousing platforms)
1983 Teradata introduces a database management system specifically
designed for decision support.
1984 Metaphor Computer Systems, founded by David Liddle and Don
Massaro, releases Data Interpretation System (DIS). DIS was a
hardware/software package and GUI for business users to create a database
management and analytic system.
1988 Barry Devlin and Paul Murphy publish the article An architecture for a
business and information system where they introduce the term "business data
warehouse".[11]
 1990 Red Brick Systems, founded by Ralph Kimball, introduces Red Brick
Warehouse, a database management system specifically for data warehousing.
1991 Prism Solutions, founded by Bill Inmon, introduces Prism Warehouse
Manager, software for developing a data warehouse.
1992 Bill Inmon publishes the book Building the Data Warehouse.[12]
1995 The Data Warehousing Institute, a for-profit organization that
promotes data warehousing, is founded.
1996 Ralph Kimball publishes the book The Data Warehouse Toolkit.[13]
2012 Bill Inmon developed and made public technology known as "textual
disambiguation". Textual disambiguation applies context to raw text and
reformats the raw text and context into a standard data base format. Once raw
text is passed through textual disambiguation, it can easily and efficiently be
accessed and analyzed by standard business intelligence technology. Textual
disambiguation is accomplished through the execution of textual ETL. Textual
disambiguation is useful wherever raw text is found, such as in documents,
Hadoop, email, and so forth.

About Bill, The father of the data warehousing

William H. Inmon, "Bill Inmon, President and Chief Technology Officer, Forest
Rim Technology LLC Best known as The Father of Data Warehousing.
Monthly Columnist, Business Intelligence Network and EIM Institute, World
Renowned Speaker, Author and Instructor.
Best known as the Father of Data Warehousing, Bill Inmon has become the
most prolific and well-known author worldwide in the data warehousing and
business intelligence arena. In addition to authoring more than 50 books and
650 articles, Bill has been a monthly columnist with the Business Intelligence
Network, EIM Institute and Data Management Review. In 2007, Bill was named
by Computerworld as one of the Ten IT People Who Mattered in the Last 40
Years of the computer profession.
Having 35 years of experience in database technology and data warehouse
design, he is known globally for his seminars on developing data warehouses
and information architectures. Bill has been a keynote speaker in demand for
numerous computing associations, industry conferences and trade shows.
Bill Inmon also has an extensive entrepreneurial background: He founded Pine
Cone Systems, later named Ambeo in 1995, and founded, and took public,
Prism Solutions in 1991. His most recent companies include Forest Rim
Technology LLC, which he co-founded with his wife Lynn in 2008, for the
integration of textual data into the structured environment, and Inmon Data
Systems, Inc (www.inmondatasystems.com) in 2003. In these two companies,
Bill has developed Textual ETL technologies that allow an organization to move
various types of unstructured information into a data warehouse and
consolidate it with structured data into a single shared data store. He has
provided a methodology that has shown how to accomplish data integration
across both worlds of structured data (e.g. table-driven and file-driven) and
unstructured (e.g. notes, documents, pictures, voice and multi-media and
various web-driven data formats). Bill recently announced Inmons DW2.0
the architecture of the next generation of data warehousing. His latest book on
the subject is DW 2.0: Architecture for the Next Generation of Data
Warehousing.

In 1999, Bill created a website to educate professionals and decision makers

about data warehousing and the Corporate Information Factory,
www.inmoncif.com, a collection of ground-breaking methodologies for the
corporate world, which contains much of Mr. Inmons written work and related
material, including methodologies, technical white papers, articles, and data
models.
In 2003, Bill created the Government Information Factory, an architectural
blueprint for building government information systems. This go-to portal for
government IT systems can be found at www.inmongif.com.
Bill consults with a large number of Fortune 1000 clients, and leading IT
executives on Data Warehousing, Business Intelligence, and Database
Management, offering data warehouse design and database management
services, as well as producing methodologies and technologies that advance
the enterprise architectures of large and small organizations world-wide. He
has worked for American Management Systems and Coopers & Lybrand. Bill
received his Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics from Yale University,
and his Master of Science degree in Computer Science from New Mexico State
University. He makes his home in Colorado.

Ralph Kimball
founded the Kimball Group. Since the mid-1980s, he was the DW/BI industrys
thought leader on the dimensional approach and trained more than 20,000
students. Prior to working at Metaphor and founding Red Brick Systems, Ralph
co-invented the first commercially-available workstation with a graphical user
interface at Xeroxs Palo Alto Research Center (PARC). Ralph has his Ph.D. in
Electrical Engineering from Stanford University.
