Paper Summary:

The writer looks at different types of data warehouses and shows the development as technology has expanded in the direction of the internet. The paper discusses the types of companies and organizations that use storage mechanisms. It also cites reasons why such warehouses can be security risks when storing confidential information.

From the Paper:

"Traditional database management systems are passive; retrieval commands are executed by the database when requested by a user or application program. Active databases, differ in that they offer the ability to monitor and react to specific circumstances and perimeters of relevance to an application. The active database system provides a knowledge model (a description mechanism) and an execution model (i.e., a runtime strategy for supporting reactive behavior based upon the parameters of the software.)"
