Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW)

An organization-wide data warehouse that integrates data across all business areas to serve as a single source for analytics.

Definition

An EDW contrasts with departmental data marts. In the Inmon approach, the normalized EDW is built first and then feeds dependent data marts.

Exam tip

EDW = enterprise scope; data mart = department or subject scope.
