Nowadays business intelligence technologies allow to analyze mainly set oriented data, without considering order dependencies between data. Few approaches to analyzing data of sequential order have been proposed so far. Nonetheless, for storing and manipulating sequential data the approaches use either the relational data model or its extensions. We argue that in order to be able to fully support the analysis of sequential data, a dedicated new data model is needed. In this paper, we propose a formal model for time point-based sequential data with operations that allow to construct sequences of events, organize them in an OLAP-like manner, and analyze them. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first formal model and query language for this class of data.Read the full paper here: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-642-33999-8_19
