Hyper-lattice Algebraic Model for Data Warehousing
This book presents Hyper-lattice, a new algebraic model for partially ordered sets, and an alternative to lattice. The authors analyze some of the shortcomings of conventional lattice structure and propose a novel algebraic structure in the form of Hyper-

Preface
It is an immense pleasure to introduce this book on data warehousing that emphasizes on new algebraic structure and on using appropriate query language for efficient extraction of information from a multi-level storage abstraction. This book is a handbook for future researchers who want to work on data warehousing from modeling perspective. This book focuses on two inherent structures of data warehousing, namely lattice of cuboids and concept hierarchy. We analyze the lattice as an algebraic structure and identify its static nature as a problem. We discuss this problem in the domain of data warehouse. However, the limitation of lattice due to its static nature also persists in other application domains. This problem identified in this book is resolved by a novel algebraic model named Hyper-lattice in
