On-Line Analytical Processing with Conceptual Information Systems

Abstract. A Conceptual Information System consists of a database together with conceptual hierarchies. The management system TOSCANA visualizes arbitrary combinations of conceptual hierarchies by nested line diagrams and allows an on-line interaction with a database to analyze data conceptually. The paper describes the conception of Conceptual Information Systems and discusses the use of their visualization techniques for On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP).
