A Knowledge Based Approach for Modeling and Query Multidimensional Databases

In this paper we address the problem of modeling and querying multidimensional databases by exploiting the possibility of using two different languages. Cubes are described within a description logic and the query language is based on a small set of operators used to build cubes from existing ones.
