method for automated annotation of multidimensional databases with information objects lack of reports

摘要

The method for the automated annotation of multi-dimensional database reports with information objects of a data repository comprises the following steps: a) identifying elements of the schema of the multi-dimensional database that define a given multi-dimensional database report, b) defining a graph structure between the elements of the schema of the multi-dimensional database and associated classes of the schema of the data repository by means of the mapping associations, c) by means of a structural analysis, finding at least one path in the graph structure between a given element and classes of the schema of the data repository, d) evaluating the relevance of a class of the schema of the data repository for the given element by determining (1) the length of a path or paths between the given element and the class or classes according to some length measure and (2) the number of paths between the given element and its associated class or classes wherein (1) the smaller the length, the larger is the relevance and (2) the more paths exist the larger is the relevance, e) by means of a syntactical analysis of the text parts of the information objects, evaluating the relevance of the information objects for the class or classes, f) cumulating and normalizing the relevance determinations according to the structural and syntactical analysis in steps d) and e), g) outputting a list of the most relevant annotated information objects and their relevance values.
