Specifying metamodel transformations for data warehouse design

Published: 18 March 2005 Publication History

Abstract

Motivated by the increasing use of data warehouse systems and the difficulties in its definition, we propose an automatic approach for discovering multidimensional structure from relational databases, based in MDA. MDA supports the development of software- systems through the transformation of models [1]. MDA requires that model transformations be defined precisely in terms of the relationship between a source meta-model and a target meta-model. This paper is concerned with OLAP schema derivation (target meta-model) starting from the Relational metamodel (source meta-model). For the definition and application of model transformations we use the proposal for QVT presented in [2].
