Abstract

The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is the de facto standard for modeling object-oriented software and system analysis. The four plus one View Model describes the information system framework using five concurrent views, each of which depicts a specific view of the system. UML consists of various graphical notations, which capture the software designer's architecture decision. The nine diagrams can assist system designer and analyzer to sketch the blueprint of information system easily. Data warehouse is the latest must-have marketing weapon in Business domain. It provides architectures and tools for users to systematically organize, understand, and use their data to make strategic decision. It is also useful for information retrieval in pedagogical settings. In this study, we constructed the framework of the prototype of multi-dimensions botanical documents inquiry system (MDBDIS) with the notation and methodology of UML. The empirical results of this study has showed the high recall and precision rates, the recall rate of LeaveMargin = "Serrate" and florescence = "pink" is 0.83, and the precision rate of LeaveMargin = "palmatelylobed" and Phyllotaxy = "opposite" is 075. In this paper, the finding which has provided evidence of an empirically applied UML methodology to sketch the blueprint of data warehouse is a useful new avenue for system designer and analyzer.
