With respect to the major role information warehouses play for the management an approach for specifying management views within the requirements specification phase is presented. Based on a framework relating development phases and abstraction layers the roles of documents within development processes are organised. The importance of using management views as metadata and parameters in later development phases is elaborated. Formally the transformation of management views into logical data mart schemes and report queries is shown by means of algorithms. Development phases are integrated based on meta level relationships.
