Abstract:We present a modular design of a spatial OLAP system. Contrary to most previous work on spatial OLAP systems, which combine existing OLAP systems and geographic information systems using a middleware layer, our system directly integrates OLAP and the processing of spatial data and, thus, provides the full power of spatial OLAP without performance penalty and allows a unified treatment of spatial and non-spatial data.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
