Abstract

In this paper, we discuss a multidimensional algebra and its expressions. We divide these expressions to tabular and graphical methods and we describe their advantages and disadvantages in respect to usage in web based analyzing tools. We also present new tabular method called Dynamic tables proving the simplicity of forming suitable especially for web based tools and power of its facilities via all basic operations of multidimensional algebra.

Keywords

multidimensional algebra, data warehouses, OLAP, data cube, tabular expressions, graphical expressions, dynamic tables.
