ODS (Operational Data Store)

 

Definition: A database designed to integrate data from multiple sources to make analysis and reporting easier. Because the data originates from multiple sources, the integration often involves cleaning, resolving redundancy, and checking against business rules for integrity.

What This Means: The ODS makes that important step to bring data from various sources together. The ODS relies upon the metadata standards to ensure the data are compatible and understood.
