Multidimensional Modeling of Semi-Structured Data: XML Documents and Tweets

The considerable development experienced by the technologies in recent decades has led to the emergence of relatively simple panoply of Internet applications based on open source software, and services designed to improve online collaboration to the large public as: social networking sites (Tweeter, for example) and XML (Extensible Markup Language). Therefore, it is essential to provide efficient tools for decision makers in order to help them analyzing the semi-structured data in a simple way; i.e., as they actually analyze factual or descriptive data. In this paper, we propose a new generic multidimensional model dedicated to the semi-structured data (XML documents and Tweets).
