Data warehouse as a part of the higher education information system in Croatia

Although the idea of a decision support system resourceful in querying and analysis can be traced back to the 1960s, it was not until the late 1990s that data warehousing was universally recognized and adopted. We address issues related to modelling and implementing a data warehouse for the higher education information system in Croatia. The purpose of the project is to provide a data querying service that will improve the understanding, planning and operational work of institutions of higher education in Croatia in order to facilitate and improve educational activities.
