In this paper we present MD, a logical model for OLAP systems, and show how it can be used in the design of multidimensional databases. Unlike other models for multidimensional databases, MD is independent of any specific implementation (relational or proprietary multidimensional) and as such it provides a clear separation between practical and conceptual aspects. In this framework, we present a design methodology, to obtain an MD scheme from an operational database. We then show how an MD database can be implemented, describing translations into relational tables and into multidimensional arrays.
