Abstract
A data warehouse developed for analysis of business processes is called Process Warehouse (PW). The design of process warehouse is seldom evaluated, since a generic PW model that can be used as a benchmark for the evaluation is missing. Therefore, in this paper, we extend the REA ontology and use it for developing a generic PW model that can further be used as criteria for evaluation of PW design. Moreover, the generic PW model is used to evaluate various process warehousing approaches, collected through a comprehensive survey.
