Efficacious Data Cube Exploration by Semantic Summarization and Compression

Summary: Introduces quotient cubes, grouping structurally related cells with identical aggregate values while preserving rollup/drill-down semantics. Compact representations enable compressed construction, query answering, and incremental maintenance, demonstrated in the SOCQET OLAP system. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
