The potential that web resources have is yet unharnessed. The colossal information resources of the Web are largely untapped by the Enterprises. Enterprises has not yet seriously considered use of web content as a potential input to the data warehouse, even when the web has been proven to be the universal delivery mechanism for global data.
Many researchers have agreed that the paradigm of the Web is radically different than that of the data warehouse. One might also say that web content is highly volatile and diverse and hence harvesting the web to procure the desired information of real business value for an enterprise is like challenging its imagination.
As a chaotic and unmanageable influence, the Web can be perceived as a threat to the security and tranquility of the warehouse environment. A stable infrastructure is required. The issue of Integrity and reliability of web content is critical to the requirement of refining information through the processes of discovery, Validation, Acquisition, Design and Formatting, Dissemination, and Information Security. This paper proposes a process model along with architecture to support this methodology within a data centre.
