Typically decisions are based on information extracted from a collection of relational database systems. But it requires expert knowledge of the relational model to get reports which are well suited for decision support. A multi-dimensional model of data supports decision making in a much better way, and the aim of the project is to build a tool that helps companies to create their own multi-dimensional model from a collection of relational databases, and to make a web-based environment supporting flexible views of the multidimensional model. The project will involve the definition of requirements, analyse, design, implementation and validation in terms of small examples." }
