Business Intelligence with Rails... Done in 45 Minutes!

Attached is my presentation on how to use rails to do business intelligence. It uses a real world example with data from the US Treasury Department to track Specially Designated Individuals.

The Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC") of the US
Department of the Treasury administers and enforces
economic and trade sanctions based on US foreign policy
and national security goals against targeted foreign
countries, terrorists, international narcotics traffickers, and
those engaged in activities related to the proliferation of
weapons of mass destruction. OFAC acts under
Presidential wartime and national emergency powers, as
well as authority granted by specific legislation, to impose
controls on transactions and freeze foreign assets under
US jurisdiction

You can download the models_from_xsd plugin at RubyForge:

svn checkout svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/models-from-xsd

I have also included a sample project from the presentation in the files section:

Enjoy!
