The article presents an adaptable data model based on multidimensional space. The main difference between a multidimensional data representation and a table representation used in relational Database Management Systems (DBMSs) is that it is possible to add new elements to sets defining the axes of multidimensional space at any time. This changes the data model. The tabular representation of the relational model does not allow you to change the model itself during the operation of an automated system. Three levels of multidimensional data presentation space are considered. There are axis of multidimensional space, the Cartesian product of the sets of axis values and the values of space points. The five axes of multidimensional space defined in the article (entities, attributes, identifiers, time, modifiers) are basic for the design of an adaptable automated system. It is shown that it is possible to use additional axes for greater granularity of the stored data. The multidimensional space structure defined in the article for an adaptable data model is a flexible set for storing a relational domain model. Two types of operations in multidimensional information space are defined. Relations of the relational model are formed dynamically depending on the conditions imposed on the coordinates of the points. Thus, an adaptable data representation model based on multidimensional space can be used to create flexible dynamic automated information systems.

The article discusses methods of processing and storing data archive used in the digital university. Disadvantages of these methods are found. As a result, a fundamentally new method of processing and storing information archive in a constantly changing scheme database is proposed. This method uses mivar technologies. The multidimensional space structure has been developed to store the data archive. This multidimensional space describes the temporal relational model. For processing data, archive is proposed scheme for selecting the subspace and converting it into relations. A method of transformation of relational databases into multidimensional mivar space for efficient execution of operations on temporal data with changing structure is proposed. The transition to a multidimensional space allows us to describe the process of changing temporal data and their structure in a unified way. As a result, the time required to adapt the database schema and the redundancy of information storage are reduced. The results of this work are used in the human resource management database of BMSTU.

Historical place databases can be an invaluable tool for capturing the rich meaning of past places. However, this richness presents obstacles to success: the daunting need to simultaneously represent complex information such as temporal change, uncertainty, relationships, and thorough sourcing has been an obstacle to historical GIS in the past. The Qualified Assertion Model developed in this paper can represent a variety of historical complexities using a single, simple, flexible data model based on a) documenting assertions of the past world rather than claiming to know the exact truth, and b) qualifying the scope, provenance, quality, and syntactics of those assertions. This model was successfully implemented in a production-strength historical gazetteer of religious congregations, demonstrating its effectiveness and some challenges.

We report on the design of a novel architecture for data warehousing based on the introduction of an explicit "logical" layer to the traditional data warehousing framework. This layer serves to guarantee a complete independence of OLAP applications from the physical storage structure of the data warehouse and thus allows users and applications to manipulate multidimensional data ignoring implementation details. For example, it makes possible the modification of the data warehouse organization (e.g. MOLAP or ROLAP implementation, star scheme or snowflake scheme structure) without influencing the high level description of multidimensional data and programs that use the data. Also, it supports the integration of multidimensional data stored in heterogeneous OLAP servers. We propose [Formula: see text], a simple data model for multidimensional databases, as the reference for the logical layer. [Formula: see text] provides an abstract formalism to describe the basic concepts that can be found in any OLAP system (fact, dimension, level of aggregation, and measure). We show that [Formula: see text] databases can be implemented in both relational and multidimensional storage systems. We also show that [Formula: see text] can be profitably used in OLAP applications as front-end. We finally describe the design of a practical system that supports the above logical architecture; this system is used to show in practice how the architecture we propose can hide implementation details and provides a support for interoperability between different and possibly heterogeneous data warehouse applications.
