Where is the Big Book of Patterns for Business Intelligence?

leave a comment »

“Each pattern describes a problem which occurs over and over again in our environment, and then describes the core of the solution to that problem, in such a way that you can use this solution a million times over and over, without ever doing it the same way twice.”

— Christopher Alexander

This quote really describes the last ten years of my life.  Its funny though since I moved from Java development to business intelligence I haven’t seen a pattern.  I miss the value they add in solution development and wonder why this form of encapsulating best practices hasn’t been adopted by the business intelligence community?  Am I missing something?
