RE: [regrep] Does Registry need Business Analytics/Business Intelligence Capabilities?

Joe,

Metaphorically, BI works on the residue of business transactions.  It
deals with the micro-decisions that companies make everyday. Given those
two conditions then we have two questions.  Is there business residue
that can be collected from the registry? If there is business residue
(i.e., transaction logs), can the analysis of those logs lead to better
micro-decisions.  If there is the potential that the registry functions
could be distributed throughout an organization, then there is a higher
probability that the business residue (i.e., transaction logs) could be
of interest in the decision making process.

Since BI generally operates on data rather than metadata, my first
reaction is to say that it would be out of scope of the registry.  
Others?
