Many new items: an operating system, xquery upgrade, greater flexibility in the warehouse population, more generalized move procedures, a more robust data verification process, improved program performance, and a nifty new way to translate IPEDS variables into warehouse variables.

I revised the About page today. It now includes a description of what I’m trying to do with the rwebdb project. It also includes a list of principles that I find helpful when writing this blog and when imagining education tomorrow. I’ve reproduced the new About page in this blog post.

This past week I wrote and assembled the XQuery programs and procedures needed to build a warehouse of time series data on college and university financial data. At present the warehouse contains only the two variables used as test cases. But I believe the generality present in the programs and procedures will carry us a good distance into the build.
