Books:
The Data Warehouse ETL Toolkit: Practical Techniques for Extracting, Cleaning, Conforming, and Delivering Data John Wiley & Sons, 2004 (416 pages)

This book, written by Ralph Kimball and Joe Caserta, is a roadmap for planning, designing, building, and running the back room of a data warehouse. We expand the traditional ETL steps of extract, transform, and load into the more actionable steps of extract, clean, conform, and deliver, although we will resist the temptation to change ETL into ECCD. We build on a set of consistent techniques for delivery of dimensional data.
