Abstract

Although multidimensionality has been widely accepted as the best solution for conceptual modelling, there is not such agreement about the set of operators to handle multidimensional data. This paper presents a comparison of the existing multidimensional algebras trying to find a common backbone, as well as it discusses the necessity of a reference multidimensional algebra and the current state of the art.
