An approach that provides a theoretical foundation for the use of object-oriented databases and object-relational databases in data warehouse, multidimensional database, and online analytical processing applications and introduces a set of minimal constraints and extensions to the Unified Modeling Language for representing multiddimensional modeling properties for these applications.
Abstract
The authors propose an approach that provides a theoretical foundation for the use of object-oriented databases and object-relational databases in data warehouse, multidimensional database, and online analytical processing applications. This approach introduces a set of minimal constraints and extensions to the Unified Modeling Language for representing multidimensional modeling properties for these applications. Multidimensional modeling offers two benefits. First, the model closely parallels how data analyzers think and, therefore, helps users understand data. Second, multidimensional modeling helps predict what final users want to do, thereby facilitating performance improvements. The authors are using their approach to create an automatic implementation of a multidimensional model. They plan to integrate commercial online-analytical-processing tool facilities within their GOLD model case tool as well, a task that involves data warehouse prototyping and sample data generation issues.

Proposed NIST standard for role-based access control

TL;DR: Although RBAC continues to evolve as users, researchers, and vendors gain experience with its application, the features and components proposed in this standard represent a fundamental and stable set of mechanisms that may be enhanced by developers in further meeting the needs of their customers.

E‐government adoption: architecture and barriers

TL;DR: The proposed architecture framework for e‐ government adoption will reduce confusion surrounding e‐government infrastructure in the public sector through understanding the implementation processes, identifying requirements of information and communications technology tools, and highlighting the importance of the organisational management resources and the impact of barriers.

A generalized temporal role-based access control model

TL;DR: This work proposes a generalized temporal role-based access control (GTRBAC) model capable of expressing a wider range of temporal constraints and allows expressing periodic as well as duration constraints on roles, user-role assignments, and role-permission assignments.

A UML profile for multidimensional modeling in data warehouses

TL;DR: In this paper, an extension of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) using a UML profile is defined by a set of stereotypes, constraints and tagged values to elegantly represent main MD properties at the conceptual level.

A UML profile for multidimensional modeling in data warehouses

TL;DR: This paper presents an extension of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) using a UML profile defined by a set of stereotypes, constraints and tagged values to elegantly represent main MD properties at the conceptual level and uses the Object Constraint Language (OCL) to specify the constraints attached to the defined stereotypes.

The NIST model for role-based access control: towards a unified standard

TL;DR: The NIST model focuses on those aspects of RBAC for which consensus is available and is organized into four levels of increasing functional capabilities called flat RBAC, hierarchicalRBAC, constrained RBAC and symmetric RBAC.

The specification and enforcement of authorization constraints in workflow management systems

TL;DR: A language is presented to express both static and dynamic authorization constraints as clauses in a logic program and formal notions of constraint consistency are provided to check the consistency of constraints and assign users and roles to tasks that constitute the workflow in such a way that no constraints are violated.

The dimensional fact model: a conceptual model for data warehouses

TL;DR: This paper formalizes a graphical conceptual model for data warehouses, called Dimensional Fact model, and proposes a semi-automated methodology to build it from the pre-existing schemes describing the enterprise relational database.
