An ODS is an operational data store, a DW is a data warehouse, and a data mart contains a subset of data from the DW focused on a particular business area or department. A Logical Data Model organizes and defines the relationships between data elements in a DW. Using RFM as an initial data mining effort allows organizations to understand customer behavior patterns which can help target marketing campaigns. Some challenges facing data miners include ensuring data quality, protecting privacy, and determining the most effective algorithms for analysis.
