Due to the knowledge economy era, all enterprises need to emphasize the internal information management and application. Therefore, the Data Warehousing (DW) turns into the best solution for an enterprise. As each enterprise has different structure and behavior views, the DW definition is required to adapt to the enterprise environment. To resolve this problem, an enterprise must increase the business cost, and system managers are demanded to modify the programs repeatedly. Our research aims to assist the DW by defining a model of Architecture-Oriented Data Warehousing Framework (AODWF) which helps analyze and design the software with ease. The AODWF is to describe the structure and behavior in one unity. Using this approach of structure and behavior in one unity, developers would devise and adjust the DW more flexible and adaptable. This thesis distinguishes into three parts. The first part is to introduce the architecture theory. The second part is to explain how to build up an architecture model. The third part is to propose the AODWF. Inside the thesis, DW structure elements, operations, and structure and behavior in one unity are elaborated. Also, using AODWF assists system developers to construct the DW for an enterprise. In the future, we would further our efforts on the implementation, testing, cost and performance management of the AODWF. The DW contains other software, for example, Business Intelligent, Data Mart, Data Mining and On-line analysis processing, etc. We may construct these software using the architecture model, too. Key words：Data Warehousing, Architecture-Oriented Data Warehousing, Structure and Behavior in One Unity, Architecture Model.
