On the Need of a Reference Algebra for OLAP

چکیده
Although multidimensionality has been widely accepted as the best solution to conceptual modeling, there is not such agreement about the set of operators to handle multidimensional data. This paper presents a comparative of the existing multidimensional algebras trying to find a common backbone, as well as it discusses about the necessity of a reference multidimensional algebra and the current state of the art.

متن کاملAdjunctions between Hom and Tensor as endofunctors of (bi-) module category of comodule algebras over a quasi-Hopf algebra.
For a Hopf algebra H over a commutative ring k and a left H-module V, the tensor endofunctors V k - and - kV are left adjoint to some kinds of Hom-endofunctors of _HM. The units and counits of these adjunctions are formally trivial as in the classical case.The category of (bi-) modules over a quasi-Hopf algebra is monoidal and some generalized versions of Hom-tensor relations have been st...
متن کاملThe MD-join: An Operator for Complex OLAP
OLAP queries (i.e. group-by or cube-by queries with aggregation) have proven to be valuable for data analysis and exploration. Many decision support applications need very complex OLAP queries, requiring a fine degree of control over both the group definition and the aggregates that are computed. For example, suppose that the user has access to a data cube whose measure attribute is Sum(Sales)....

Background: Intraoral radiographies are the most frequent X-ray examinations in humans. According to International Commission on Radiation Protection (ICRP) recommendations, the selection of a diagnostic reference level (DRL) should be specific to a country or region. Critica l organs such as thyroid gland are exposed to X-rays in intraoral radiography and these exposures should be kept as low ...
