Drt discussion highlights
The document summarizes key takeaways from a discussion on how open data could contribute to poverty eradication in Kenya and Uganda. There are several main points:
1) Open data can help with resource allocation and poverty reduction by providing statistics on services, access, and demand. Data needs to be more accessible and relevant to needs.
2) Technological advances in both countries provide opportunities to increase data access and awareness, while demographic and cultural shifts also support more open data.
3) While some government data is collected, it often goes unused. More needs to be done to transform data into usable information to support development goals.

Adoption challenges in rural minnesota, BBTF March 2022.pptx
Rural areas of Minnesota have significantly less access to broadband internet than urban areas, with 94.2% of unserved and 93.3% of underserved households being in rural locations. Rural communities tend to be older, poorer, and less educated compared to urban areas. There are three main challenges to broadband adoption in rural Minnesota: accessing devices, affording internet services due to high monthly fees, and developing digital literacy skills, with organizations trying to address the third leg of skills and support.

Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.
