Explanation

In data warehousing, a 'stovepipe' refers to isolated data marts that are developed independently without conforming to enterprise standards. These stovepipe systems cannot easily share or integrate data with other parts of the organization, creating information silos. The term comes from the analogy of separate stove pipes that don't connect.
