  • KurzfassungAbstract
    This paper proposes an extension of Datalog devoted to data manipulations in On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP) systems. This language provides a declarative and concise way to specify the basic standard restructuring and summarizing operations on multidimensional cubes used in these systems. We define its model-theoretic semantics and an equivalent fixpoint semantics that leads to a naive evaluation procedure. We also illustrate its applicability to specify usefull more complex data manipulations arising in OLAP systems.
