虽然涉及数据仓库和在线分析处理（OLAP）技术的商业智能部门正在IT市场中经历强劲的增长，但相对而言，很少有人关注将这些工具与GIS结合使用的问题。本研究通过研究集成数据仓库和GIS系统的设计和实现所涉及的问题，从而促进了该研究领域的发展，该系统可以通过Web实时提供分析性OLAP和地图结果。所选择的案例研究利用了美国1880年人口普查的个人记录，这些记录最近由北大西洋人口项目提供。尽管这类历史数据集对数据仓库提出了许多挑战，但结果表明，所采用的集成方法为这类大型社会科学数据集提供了比迄今为止可用的更灵活、更强大的分析方法。
While the business intelligence sector, involving data warehouses and online analytical processing (OLAP) technologies, is experiencing strong growth in the IT marketplace, relatively little attention has been devoted to the problem of utilizing such tools in conjunction with GIS. This study contributes to the development of this research area by examining the issues involved in the design and implementation of an integrated data warehouse and GIS system that delivers analytical OLAP and mapping results in real‐time across the Web. The case study chosen utilizes individual records from the US 1880 population census, which have recently been made available by the North Atlantic Population Project. Although historical datasets of this kind present a number of challenges for data warehousing, the results indicate that the integrated approach adopted offers a much more flexible and powerful analytical methodology for this kind of large social science dataset than has hitherto been available.
