RexMart: Empowering Analysts to Configure Research Data Marts to Improve End-User Data Exploration

We set out to build a powerful configuration layer for semi-technical analysts and end users on top of relational database technology. This configuration layer empowers data analysts to define data feeds and transformations, data mart schemas, as well as query builder display properties. A data exploration tool that can readily be configured by both analysts and end-users is more likely to meet users’ needs at a lower cost than fully custom software while providing greater data quality and auditability than spreadsheets.
