The Multidimensional Database System RasDaMan

Summary: RasDaMan is a universal, domain-agnostic array DBMS for multidimensional data of arbitrary size. It offers a declarative SQL-based array query language, an optimizer, and storage via flexible tiling and compression, demonstrated in geo and healthcare projects.
