Abstract

The growth of web-available datasets that use the RDF standard enables data analysis that involves multiple dimensions. According to the W3C, one of the resources for analyzing multidimensional data is the use of the RDF Data Cube vocabulary. However, there is still a lack of support tools for applying this vocabulary in datasets. In this sense, this article proposes INTEGRACuBe, an environment that uses a meta-scheme and semi-automated mechanisms to support the mapping of data resources to the RDF Data Cube metamodel. As a result, an exploration of analytical data in RDF will be possible. Additionally, a case study is presented in the Software Development Management scenario.

Keywords: RDF Data Cube, data resource mapping, metamodel, multidimensional analysis
