MULTI-DIMENSIONAL DATA ANALYSIS

摘要

A system and method for generating a multi-dimensional data structures are provided. One or more data sources including data formats are obtained. Based on data processing requirements, a multi-dimensional data structured is developed and processing definitions for the source data is developed including the alignment of data attributes and the definition of metric calculations. Thereafter, the source data may be queried using the definitions. Additionally, the data definitions may be dynamically modified without requiring the modification of the source data.

1. A method for managing data comprising:
obtaining a set of source data, wherein the source data corresponds to a native format; identifying a set of data requirements, the data requirements specifying a multi-dimensional data format, wherein the native format of the source data does not correspond to the multi-dimensional data format; defining a set of data definitions corresponding to a required transformation of the source data to the set of data requirements without transforming the source data; and without transforming the native format of the source data into the multi-dimensional data format, storing the set of data definitions and the source data in the native format for processing queries based solely on the multi-dimensional data format by processing the source data solely in response to data queries.
