Abstract
To efficiently analyze complex and voluminous data, OLAP systems increasingly provide functionalities for visual exploration of the data allowing end-users to navigate the desired view of the data cube. This paper only deals with data cubes whose schemas represented like the exclusive symmetric hierarchy which is not addressed by current OLAP implementations. This paper presents a conceptual classification of abstraction hierarchies, and an approach to navigating data cubes with a hierarchical visualization technique. The hierarchical visualization technique is developed by using the transitive closure of a binary relation. The approach is exemplified using a real-world study from the domain of national license administration.
