Excellent suggestion. Ralph has his papers available at

Paula - If you can provide a bit more about your DW background, or =
whether
your organization has already implemented a DW we can provide some =
helpful
suggestions. This is a pretty broad area and you probably don't want to
spend a lot of time reading if you have something specific in mind.
By the way, I would contrast DW modeling vs. OLTP normalized data models. Since DW schemas need to be queried easily and usually aren't updated by a diversity of programs, some of the data modeling is done differently.
