📈 Pipeline Stages

1️⃣ Ingestion & Validation

# Automatically discovers and validates XML files
✓ File count verification
✓ Schema validation
✓ Encoding detection
✓ Size analysis

Output: Validated file manifest with metadata

2️⃣ Parsing & Extraction

# Intelligent XML parsing with XPath
✓ Field extraction (50+ medical fields)
✓ Completeness scoring per field
✓ Error handling & logging
✓ Progress tracking

Output: Single CSV file (1 row = 1 XML)

3️⃣ Data Cleansing

# Multi-stage cleaning pipeline
✓ Missing value imputation (mean/mode/forward-fill)
✓ Outlier detection & handling
✓ Date/code standardization
✓ Type validation & coercion

Output: Clean, normalized dataset

4️⃣ Dimensional Modeling

# Star schema generation
✓ Dimension tables (Patient, Provider, Diagnosis, etc.)
✓ Fact table with measures
✓ SCD Type 2 for historical tracking
✓ Automated FK assignment

Output: Separate CSV files per table

5️⃣ Data Loading

# High-performance bulk loading
✓ PostgreSQL COPY for speed
✓ Index creation post-load
✓ Constraint enforcement
✓ Data integrity checks

Output: Populated data warehouse

6️⃣ OLAP Cube Creation

# Mondrian cube configuration
✓ Dimension hierarchies
✓ Measure aggregations
✓ Calculated members
✓ MDX endpoint exposure

Output: Query-ready OLAP cube
