X Abstract

Current data warehouse and OLAP technologies can be applied to analyze the structured data that companies store in their databases. The circumstances that describe the context associated with these data can be found in other internal and external sources of documents. In this paper we propose to combine the traditional corporate data warehouse with a document warehouse,resulting in a contextualized warehouse. Thus,con textualized warehouses keep a historical record of the facts and their contexts as described by the documents. In this framework,the user selects an analysis context which is represented as a novel type of OLAP cube,here called R-cube. R-cubes are characterized by two special dimensions,namely: the relevance and the context dimensions. The first dimension measures the relevance of each fact in the selected analysis context,whereas the second one relates each fact with the documents that explain their circumstances. In this work we extend an existing multi-dimensional data model and algebra for representing the R-cubes.
