Abstract
Summarization abstracts information and so reduces flexibility. The challenge of summary database design is providing adequately flexible information to meet the needs of the business process it serves. This article addresses this challenge by examining the basic forms of summarization as a set of model record forms, each with advantages and disadvantages. The function of information implied by these forms is described in terms of the business process model. This model is the basis of a proposed data scheme that organizes information "top-down" into the core of a flexible, effective, summary database design.
