When decision makers are required to query terabytes or petabytes of datasets, narrowing the search space helps in shortening the time for querying. We investigated the use of a feature space multidimensional index to narrow the search space. When studying different indexing techniques we found that each fits certain data spaces. We identified a hybrid approach that adapts to different types of indexed data with the goal to optimize both insertion and query performance. We also investigated how the multidimensional index could be used to define a complex feature space from different data types, which we call a `composite' Data View. Such an index is independent of the data location and distribution. We believe our approach could address the problem of dealing with massive dynamic datasets for optimum query performance.
| selected citations These citations are derived from selected sources. This is an alternative to the "Influence" indicator, which also reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically). | 0 | |
| popularity This indicator reflects the "current" impact/attention (the "hype") of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network. | Average | |
| influence This indicator reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically). | Average | |
| impulse This indicator reflects the initial momentum of an article directly after its publication, based on the underlying citation network. | Average |
