| Abstract: |
On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP) systems are commonly used on top of structured data to help users make sense of large data collections by providing them with summary information that can be examined at various levels of detail. Partial materialization has been used as part of these OLAP systems as a way of reducing the time required to calculate summaries as well as satisfying the constraints of limited storage and available time for updates. |
