 For a
successful implementation of a web farming system, a four-stage methodology is
recommended. Each stage builds upon the previous, with the goal of blending the web
farming activity within the data warehouse and eventually within the knowledge management
system for the enterprise.
- Getting Started
by establishing the business case based on the objectives and
business environment of the enterprise
- Getting Serious
by legitimizing the web farming activity within the organization and
by building infrastructure for production operations
- Getting Smart
by exploiting technology (especially for discovery and structuring of
information) and by building pipelines to primary content providers
- Getting Tough
by structuring information for the data warehouse by revisiting the
business objectives in light of the warehouse schema
Further description of these stages is contained in
Chapters Four and Five of the WF Book. |
