Can RDF Based Storage Make a Better DB2 Data Warehouse?

One of the most difficult and time consuming processes in developing a data warehouse is the table and ETL design. Can we use new software technology to bypass this design and get right to processing data using DB2? NoSQL, MapReduce and GraphStore are becoming popular technologies for the storage and processing of what might be called "big data". This presentation will explore the possibility of using this available technology in DB2. Using the provided RDF (Resource Description Framework) NoSQL GraphStore feature of DB2, we will see if the typical complexities associated with data warehouses can be avoided
