It appears as the relational model being unbeatable i the DWH
domain, OTH I would be really curious how DWH technology based on RDF
would work given the same amount of research as done for the rel.
model. Especially since RDF removes that inherent need for
intensional typing.
XML I think is simply unsuitable for the DWH domain....the data
structure is just too complex.
