*Abstract*
*Abstract* This talk will be in two parts, exploring recent developments in data warehousing in Scotland.
*Criminal Justice: *A pilot project was carried out by the Justice ASD, together with criminal justice agencies, to establish the feasibility of tapping into case management data on criminal justice case trajectories. A flexible front-end tool has been developed to allow users access to generate their own profiles of interest, e.g. by type of offender.**
*NHS Scotland: *One of the key recommendations from the 2005 "Health and Care Statistics Review" was that ISD should establish a corporate data warehouse to enable inquirers to run through their own queries using data gathered from the NHS. This talk will provide an update on the progress and present an example of one of the new online toolsets, Navigator.**
