Abstract
In this paper we present a method to validate user multidimensional requirements expressed in terms of SQL queries. Furthermore, our approach automatically generates and proposes the set of multidimensional schemas satisfying the user requirements, from the organizational operational schemas. If no multidimensional schema is generated for a query, we can state that requirement is not multidimensional.
