“…Unfortunately, rare studies focus on the CIM level for their models' alignment, but we were able to locate some studies on the topic. First, Beggar et al [11] based their modeling of the requirements for data warehouses at the CIM abstraction level on a UML profile. GoalCases are used to model the initiative view of the system requirements, and the strategic goal analysis process (SGAP) is used to model the analytical view of the system.…”

With the massive development of end-users requirements, the model alignment has become an essential stage in software engineering, especially in the model driven architecture (MDA) approach, to absorb the end-user’s need. The purpose is to facilitate the alignment of new models from existing ones. Our contribution in this paper is to deal with the MDA higher abstraction lever by focusing on the automatic alignment of the business value with the business process models for the information system (IS). For our case, the data-flow diagram (DFD) illustrates the business process model, and the E<sup>3</sup>value model illustrates the business value model. However, the ATLAS-transformation language (ATL) ensures automatic alignment. The main goal is to facilitate and accelerate IS implementation while enhancing its quality.

“…In fact, in our previous work, we discussed the modeling of the user requirements and the generation of the conceptual model from these latter. In this paper, we complete our approach by, firstly, getting automatically the OLAP and DW relational models from the conceptual one (Figure ).…”

“…To do that, we propose a metamodel for each MDA abstraction level and the required rules to automate the passage between those levels. Hence, at the CIM level, we have proposed a UML profile that extends the use case and BPM diagrams to analyze the DW requirements . Afterwards, the multidimensional schema (PIM) is deduced from the previous CIM.…”

“…In this respect, this paper, as a continuity of our previous work, aims to propose an alternative to create OLAP cube via the MDA concepts and outstrip the business intelligence (BI) tools knowledge. Our proposal is, indeed, a tool to create OLAP cubes that can be manipulated by any user without requiring previous knowledge or skills on BI editors.…”

Summary The Model‐Driven Architecture (MDA) is an approach that aligns modeling and automation for software development. By applying such an approach to data warehouse (DW) projects, we can minimize a great deal of time and cost. Furthermore, most of OnLine Analytical Processing (OLAP) platforms seem to be like black boxes that provide wizards only to business intelligence developers to create and manipulate OLAP objects without allowing their sustainability and migration from a platform to another. That is why many works in the literature have proposed using the MDA approach in DW projects. However, most of them have mainly focused on the generation of the DW relational model from the conceptual one, and they overlooked the OLAP model and the cube implementation. To deal with this problem, we propose in this paper an MDA solution to automate the process of getting OLAP cube and its implementation through a set of metamodels and automatic transformations among them. In fact, the proposal generates the OLAP and DW relational models (PSMs) from the conceptual one, using also a PDM model that describes the target business intelligence platform. After that, the source code to create the cube is got from both PSM models. For this aim, we define a set of transformation rules implemented using the Atlas transformation language. Finally, a case study will be provided to validate our approach.
