Dennis - Bill Inmon is the patron saint of the ODS people. Pretty much equal
industry status with Ralph. Claims the title of "The Father of Data
Warehousing" (right there on his site). Start with his Web site at
http://www.billinmon.com/. His articles are published on DB Review magazine,

Greetings -
I need some help with building an Operational Data Store. I know there are
a lot of confusion in ODS vs. DW but I belong to the camp of 'ODS should be
used only for operational reporting, not decision support'. So while
Kimball talks a lot about building a DW in his books, he does not cover ODS
much. Are there any books/websites/third parties that deal with building an
ODS?
TIA
