Talk Summary: This talk will talk about the Unified Star Schema (USS), a special data model that turns complex data models into a single star schema, very easy to use. The presentation will also show how the USS is built.
Speaker Bio: Francesco Puppini is an Italian freelance consultant in business intelligence and data warehousing. He is the inventor of the Unified Star Schema, which is also the title of a book that he wrote with Bill Inmon. He was always focusing on the “last mile challenge”: how to deliver information to business users. He is currently focusing on algorithms of graph theory applied to data modeling. He is also working on a framework of communication between LLMs and semantic layers. His ultimate goal is to put the foundations of a full experience of self-service access to information.
