Traditionally, data warehouse requirements engineering is oriented towards determining the information contents of the warehouse To Be.

Finally, we specify functionality using sequence diagrams and extended use case diagrams. Our use case diagrams allow for actor aggregation in addition to actor specialization. Further, we need to introduce the ‘estimated from’ relationship between use cases in addition to the extend and include relationships of UML. We illustrate our proposals with an example.
