Title: OLAP and Cube Design
Post by: Matt Thomas on August 19, 2011, 01:13:57 am

Hello I'm interested in prior art on use of EA for modelling OLAP solutions and Cube design. Is there a benefit?

There are benefits in using EA for OLAP design but given that there are a few approaches to using UML (and some from the Academic domain and fairly rigorous), I think that the development of a UML Profile from the OMG will be beneficial to the Business Intelligence community.

I suspect that there are information management initiatives from the OMG that are addressing some of these issues.
