The base fact tables of a data warehouse are generally of huge size. In order to shorten query response time and to improve
maintenance performance, a base fact table is generally partitioned into multiple instances of same schema. To facilitate
multidimensional data analysis, common methods are to create different multidimensional data models (MDDM) for different instances
which may make it difficult to realize transparent multi-instance queries and maintenance. To resolve the problems, this paper
proposes a logically integrated and physically distributed multidimensional data model.
