Abstract

The design of Spatial OLAP (SOLAP) applications consists of (i) Spatial Data Warehouse (SDW) model design and (ii) SOLAP visualization definition because a specific set of understandable and readable cartographic visualizations corresponds to a particular type of SOLAP query. Unfortunately few works investigate geovisualization issues in SOLAP systems and propose new methodologies to visualize spatio-temporal data, and no works investigate tools for readable SOLAP cartographic displays. Moreover, some works propose ad-hoc methodologies for DWs and SDWs exclusively based on data and user analysis requirements. Therefore, we present in this paper (i) a new geovisualization methodology for SOLAP queries that yields readable maps and (ii) a new prototyping design methodology for SOLAP applications that accounts for geovisualization requirements.
