The Inmon methodology, developed by Bill Inmon, is a top-down approach to designing and implementing data warehouses, emphasizing the importance of a centralized, enterprise-wide data repository.

The Inmon methodology is known for its emphasis on data integration, quality, and governance, and is often used in large, complex organizations.
