I completely disagree with this:
"The reason we don’t use the term data warehouse architecture as the authors Thilini Ariyachandra and Hugh J. Watson do is that some of these pre-defined architectures, such as the DWBA, are not based on a data warehouse. It would be awkward to call something a data warehouse architecture if it’s not based on a data warehouse at all."
I find the DWBA the most comprehensive and the most logical architecture for a DATAWAREHOUSE, and the only one that provides real DATA INTEGRATION, which is DW all about (and more than that).
And most important, I find Kimball definitions non-ambiguous, simple, practical and useful, all the attributes that I can't associate neither with Bill Inmon's ones, nor with your's.
Regards
