A Foundation for Multi-Dimensional Databases
Summary: Introduces a conceptual, implementation-independent multidimensional model for OLAP that cleanly separates schema structure from data contents. Defines equivalent algebra and calculus, making cube manipulation transparent and exposing a principled foundation for OLAP languages. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
