Recent efforts to support analytical tasks have pointed out the necessity to come up with flexible, powerful means for analyzing the issued queries and exploit them in decision-oriented processes (such as query recommendation or physical tuning). Issued queries should be decomposed, stored and manipulated in a dedicated subsystem.
For doing so, we first need to represent analytical queries in a rich format that we can exploit later. In this collaboration we propose to represent analytical sessions in terms of a multidimensional algebra. The next step will involve exploiting such constructs to recommend (in an OLAP fashion) new prospects of analysis to the user.
