Abstract

Many efforts have been made to the treatment of spatial data in databases both in traditional database systems and decision of support systems or On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP) technologies in datawarehouses (DW). Nevertheless, many open questions concerning this kind of data still remain. The work presented in this paper is focused on dealing with the spatial and temporal granularity within a logical multidimensional model. We propose an extension of the Snowflake model to gather the spatial data and to show our proposal to represent the spatial evolution through time in a simple and intuitive way. We represent the temporal and spatial multi-granularity with different levels in the hierarchies of dimensions, and we present a typology of hierarchies to include more semantics in the Snowflake scheme.
