A data mart serves purposes similar to a data warehouse (see definition below) but is generally organized around a subject area. Often the subject areas are functional, such as student information, employee information, financial information, etc. A data mart may also be organized around an operational area, such as executives, managers, students, etc.
Data marts have the same definition as the data warehouse (see below), but data marts have a more limited audience and/or data content.
A subset of a data warehouse. Where data warehouses are designed to support many requirements for multiple business needs, data marts are designed to support specific requirements for specific decision support applications (i.e., particular business needs). Data marts are typically considered a solution for distributed users who want exclusive control of the information required for their business need.
A set of data designed and constructed for decision support purposes reflecting the design principles of a data warehouse provided to serve the needs of a homogenous user group. ()

A data mart (DM) is a specialized version of a data warehouse (DW). Like data warehouses, data marts contain a snapshot of operational data that helps business people to strategize based on analyses of past trends and experiences. The key difference is that the creation of a data mart is predicated on a specific, predefined need for a certain grouping and configuration of select data.
