The Data Access Side - Architecture
• This term Information Factory is often used to describe information life cycle within an organization from origination to its active end-of-life and beyond.
• The Corporate Information Factory, as proposed by Bill Inmon, is an architecture that defines wide array of data stores and associated processes to run the Information Factory – but limited to decision support applications.
