title: developing a data warehouse from parsed XML
body: <p>My purpose is to develop a data warehouse, for which i downloaded an XML file from <a href="http://dblp.dagstuhl.de/xml/" rel="nofollow">dblp (computer science bibliography website)</a>.
  I then parsed that XML file using the <a href="http://saxon.sourceforge.net/" rel="nofollow">SAX</a> XML parser.</p>
  
  <p>After parsing i now have the following entities (Closing tags aren't printed intentionally):</p>
  
  <pre><code>  &lt;dblp&gt;
      &lt;www mdate key&gt;
        &lt;author&gt;
        &lt;title&gt;
        &lt;url&gt;
        &lt;year&gt;
      &lt;inproceedings mdate key&gt;
        &lt;author&gt;
        &lt;title&gt;
        &lt;month&gt;
        &lt;year&gt;
        &lt;pages&gt;
        &lt;booktitle&gt;
        &lt;url&gt;
        &lt;note&gt;
        &lt;cdrom&gt;
      &lt;article mdate key&gt;
        &lt;author&gt;
        &lt;author&gt;
        &lt;title&gt;
        &lt;journal&gt;
        &lt;volume&gt;
        &lt;month&gt;
        &lt;year&gt;
      &lt;book mdate key&gt;
        &lt;author&gt;
        &lt;title&gt;
        &lt;year&gt;
        &lt;publisher&gt;
        &lt;isbn&gt;
        &lt;url&gt;
      &lt;incollection mdate key publtype&gt;

        &lt;year&gt;
        &lt;booktitle&gt;
        &lt;ee&gt;
        &lt;crossref&gt;

        &lt;booktitle&gt;
        &lt;volume&gt;
        &lt;series href&gt;
        &lt;year&gt;
        &lt;isbn&gt;
        &lt;publisher&gt;
        &lt;url&gt;

  <p>According to mu knowledge the next step now is to develop a dimensional model (star schema) out of these entities, but i don't understand how exactly i have to do this with this much data. (Note: Its my first data warehouse project)</p>
  
  <p>Is this data enough? 
  What are the things i have to take care of?</p>
  
  <p>What should i do next?</p>
