CPM: A Cube Presentation Model for OLAP
نویسندگان
چکیده
On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP) is a trend in database technology, based on the multidimensional view of data. In this paper we introduce the Cube Presentation Model (CPM), a presentational model for OLAP data which, to the best of our knowledge, is the only formal presentational model for OLAP found in the literature until today. First, our proposal extends a previous logical model for cubes, to handle more complex cases. Then, we present a novel presentational model for OLAP screens, intuitively based on the geometrical representation of a cube and its human perception in the space. Moreover, we show how the logical and the presentational models can fit smoothly. Finally, we describe how typical OLAP operations can be easily mapped to the CPM.

A Presentation Model & Non-Traditional Visualization for OLAP
Data visualization is one of the major issues of database research. OLAP a decision support technology, is clearly in the center of this effort. Thus far, visualization has not been incorporated in the abstraction levels of DBMS architecture (conceptual, logical, physical); neither has it been formally treated in this context. In this paper we start by reconsidering the separation of the aforem...

On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP) is a trend in database technology, based on the multidimensional view of data. Multidimensional data (called multicubes) form the basic logical data model for OLAP applications and a significant number of proposals exist for cube models, without – in most cases – the distinct description of an equivalent “presentational” layer or model for the presentation o...

The paper is dealing with data cubes built for data warehouse for OLAP purposes. OLAP (Online Analytical Processing) system offers multidimensional data analysis in which large volume of historically collected data is computed. To decrease the query time and to provide various options to the analysts, a data model was designed to organize data perfectly in a multidimensional data model. In OLAP...
