Data Mart, a read-only static data system, collects synthetic data for analytical purposes and can be an offline "snapshot" of a DB.
OLAP, part of Business Intelligence, involves analyzing entities from various perspectives through sorting, filtering, grouping, and calculating.
OLAP analysis involves values (measures) and elements (dimensions) resulting in a structure called Info Cube, with basic operations like roll-up, drill-down, and slicing.
Dashboarding, the third step of Business Intelligence, represents meaningful patterns in a highly readable, interactive, and exportable format.
Data Visualization in Business Intelligence focuses on the graphical representation of data to extract understandable information from it.
