Abstract
A data management system includes forming a workflow data warehouse (WDW) for storing data indicative of facts specific to a workflow process. In one embodiment, the WDW is configured to categorize and store the workflow process data as generic or specific process data and as generic or specific node data. The process data are related to the execution of a sequence of workflow actions within the workflow process. The node data are related to the execution of a node within the workflow process. The WDW is formed within a workflow management system and is adapted for on-line analytical processing (OLAP). The WDW may be configured to store data associated with identifying specific behaviors within the workflow process. Moreover, the WDW is configured to enable vertical recordings of data associated with the modifications of the workflow process.
