 OLAP - On Line Analytical Processing |
 |
|
OLAP always involves interactive querying of data, following a thread of analysis through multiple passes, such as "drill-down" into successively lower levels of detail. The information is "multidimensional," meaning that it can be visualized in grids. Information is typically displayed in cross-tabs, and tools provide the ability to pivot the axes of the cross-tabulation. These operations are always read-only. I call this activity "narrow OLAP" and distinguish it from "broad OLAP" (or just OLAP), which includes the following characteristics:
- Updating the database
- Modeling capabilities, including a calculation engine for deriving results and creating aggregations and consolidations
- Forecasting, trend analysis and other complex models, such as optimization, statistical analysis or other "esoteric" functions
Decision support encompasses all of the OLAP functions above, plus the end-to-end process of gathering, structuring, manipulating, storing, accessing, presenting and distributing actionable business information. OLAP is a significant subset of this activity. Regardless of the definition applied, OLAP is about enabling decision making. Improved decision making is our the goal, not taxonomy. |
