Abstract

Traditional data warehousing technologies and On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP) are unable to analyze textual data. Moreover, as OLAP queries of a decision-maker are generally related to a context, contextual information must be taken into account during the exploitation of data warehouses. Thus, we propose a contextual text cube model denoted CXT-Cube which considers several contextual factors during the OLAP analysis in order to better consider the contextual information associated with textual data. CXT-Cube is characterized by several contextual dimensions, each one related to a contextual factor. In addition, we extend our aggregation OLAP operator for textual data ORank (OLAP-Rank) to consider all the contextual factors defined in our CXT-Cube model. To validate our model, we perform an experimental study and the preliminary results show the importance of our approach for integrating textual data into a data warehouse and improving the decision-making.
