Querying Geographical Data Warehouses With GeoMDQL
نویسندگان
چکیده
Integrating geographical and multidimensional processing has been proposed in several researches in the database literature. One of the most important issues of this process is data querying. However, most of the current approaches do not take into account the use of a query language to make the simultaneous specification of multidimensional and spatial operators available. In this paper, we present GeoMDQL, which is a geographical-multidimensional query language, specifically been designed for SOLAP environments. GeoMDQL is based on well-known standards such as the MDX language and OGC Simple Features Specification for SQL. We present here the GeoMDQL grammar and a discussion regarding the taxonomy and syntax of GeoMDQL query types. Additionally, some aspects related to the GeoMDQL architecture implementation are shown together with a case study description to illustrate the proposed query language syntax.

Querying Multiversion Data Warehouses
Data warehouses (DWs) change in their content and structure due to changes in the feeding sources, business requirements, the modeled reality, and legislation, to name a few. Keeping the history of changes in the content and structure of a DW enables the user to analyze the state of the business world retrospectively or prospectively. Multiversion data warehouses (MVDWs) keep the history of con...
متن کاملProbabilistic Data Modeling and Querying for Location-Based Data Warehouses
Motivated by the increasing need to handle complex, dynamic, uncertain multidimensional data in location-based warehouses, this paper proposes a novel probabilistic data model that can address the complexities of such data. The model provides a foundation for handling complex hierarchical and uncertain data, e.g., data from the location-based services domain such as transportation infrastructur...

A large amount of heterogeneous information is now available in enterprises. Some their data sources are repositories of XML data or they are viewed as XML data independently on their inner implementation. In this paper, we study the foundations of XML data warehouses. We adapt the traditional star schema with explicit dimension hierarchies for XML environment. We propose the notion of XML-refe...
