Data warehouse e-business (conventional form)
Recently, the business of remote online backup has started as the cost reduction and the security of practical use of cryptography become practical. In this case, the data storage requester, for example, makes data storage and storage a business in order to prevent damage when the data stored and held by his / her personal computer is lost due to disk destruction, misoperation, theft, etc. A third party may be outsourced to store stored data through a network. Currently, the above data is compressed in order to reduce the cost of transferring and storing the data held by the data storage requester, and further, the compressed data and the encrypted data encrypted to ensure security are stored in the data store through the network. It is transferred to the data warehouse and stored as it is. If the data archiving requester loses the data, request the data custodian to return the compressed / encrypted data via the network, and the data requester himself / herself sends the data from the compressed / encrypted data. The original data can be reproduced and utilized by decompression and decoding.
The above is the substance of the data warehouse e-business that is remote and online backup using the network. Naturally, the data storage requester pays the data storage fee to the data storage owner. As a result, the data storage requester can omit the costs associated with storage, and the data storage custodian establishes the business by obtaining a reasonable storage fee.

  However, the communication business for transferring the data and the data warehouse business / data backup business for storing the data exist independently and do not exist in an integrated manner.

Further, the following conventional techniques exist for data collection and storage.
From the tape storage warehouse to the operation of an automated warehouse with a tape library device, it depends on everything. There are network-dependent ones like remote online backup. Both were requested to be stored by the data owner and were not reused without permission. That is, the tape is sealed and the remote backup data is stored after being compressed and encrypted. These can be used if they are opened and thawed based on the consent of the client. From then on, it will enter the domain of knowledge discovery (KDD: Knowledge Discovery in Databases) in the database.

Further, there is the following conventional technique called data warehouse (data normalization).
The stored and opened data is stored in a form that facilitates subsequent intelligent processing. In other words, it is stored in the form of historical data to enable trend analysis, and data is cleaned, consistent, duplicates are eliminated, definitions are eliminated, and external additional information is actively incorporated as needed to reinforce. And then encoding. These have already become a field in IT as data warehousing technology, and the technology and products are available.

Further, there is the following conventional technique called data mining (discovering and extracting information and knowledge from data).
Trend analysis is obtained from data warehouse data by methods such as clustering, region segmentation, and prediction. Since this implementation requires powerful computing power, it is desirable to employ a multiprocessing system. These are already in the field of IT as data mining technologies, and the technologies and products are available.

In addition, the following conventional techniques exist as access (information and knowledge report).
Using visualization techniques according to the purpose, display it in a table, graph, etc. to make it easy to make decisions and actions. This can be effectively realized by applying a client server and web technology.

As described above, while operating data is stored as a database, data warehouses and data mining technologies have made decisions and actions, but the source of the original data is limited to the company, and the use of knowledge and other deliverables is also in-house. It stopped at. In particular, it was unexpected that the data stored in the request storage from the outside was added to the operation data, processed, reused as secondary data, and the secondary data sold.
