โฆ Synopsis
Dimensions are usually considered static in a data warehouse. However, because of changing requirements, dimension data and dimension structure can evolve. In this paper we focus on a type of dimension data change called reclassification, i.e., when a member of a level changes its parent in a higher level of a dimension. This kind of change gives rise to the notion of season, i.e., an interval during which two members of a dimension are associated with each other. In this paper we extend a formal temporal multidimensional model with the notion of season and propose query language constructs to enable season queries. A case study about soccer illustrates the application of the proposed extensions, exemplified with several season queries.

When data are obtained from heterogeneous distributed information sources, all of the data do not always have the same structure, but they are sometimes different in data structure from instance to instance. As a data structure to integrate such semistructured data, we present the self-descriptive o
Many authors, who adopt the vector space model, take the view that documents, terms, queries, etc., are all elements within the same (conceptual) space. This view seems to be a natural one, given that documents and queries have the same vector notatlon. We show, however, that the structure of the qu
