In the last few years, various approaches for the multidimensional
(MD) modeling have been presented. However, none of them has been
widely accepted as a standard. In this paper, we summarize the
advantages of using object orientation for MD modeling.
Furthermore, we use the UML, a standard visual modeling language,
for modeling every aspect of MD systems. We show how our approach
resolves elegantly some important problems of the MD modeling,
such as multistar models, shared hierarchy levels, and
heterogeneous dimensions. We believe that our approach, based on
the popular UML, can be successfully used for MD modeling and can
represent most of frequent MD modeling problems at the conceptual
level. |    |
