This glossary introduces and defines the major technical terms used in the Austrian Data Cube project.

The project builds on the following main concept:

A data cube efficiently stores a multi-dimensional array of values. Typically, applied in contexts of big data (i.e. time-series, very high-resolution satellite data), exceeding the hosting computer's main memory. This data can be effectively queried and sliced to extract the required data.
