Abstract
A process, system and computer software are provided to facilitate at least one recommendation to one or more users and/or one or more applications using multidimensional data. In particular, a multidimensional space is defined, wherein each dimension is capable of providing variable information. At least one dimension corresponds to user profiles. The multidimensional space is filled with multidimensional data corresponding to dimensions of the multidimensional space. Then, information from the multidimensional space is retrieved. Further, the recommendation is generated based on the retrieved information. In addition, it is possible to generate a recommendation-specific query. This can be performed by generating the recommendation-specific query to access a multidimensional cube and retrieve data stored therein. Then, the recommendation can be issued based on the data retrieved from the multidimensional cube.

21. A method, comprising:
-
receiving, at one or more computer servers associated with a system for providing multidimensional information, one or more requests from an external server for one or more recommendations, the multidimensional information defining a multidimensional space having at least three dimensions, each dimension having one or more attributes characterizing each element of the dimension, each dimension being capable of providing variable information, wherein at least one dimension corresponds to a user profile; retrieving, by one or more processors associated with the one or more computer servers, information from the multidimensional space; generating, by the one or more processors, at least one recommendation based on the retrieved information, wherein the at least one recommendation includes at least one multidimensional suggestion, the at least one multidimensional suggestion including the at least three dimensions, each of which is configured to include a plurality of further attributes, and wherein at least one of;
each of the dimensions is capable of having a type that is different from a type of another one of the dimensions, or at least one of the dimensions includes profiles; andsending, by the one or more processors, the at least one recommendation to the external server in response to the one or more requests. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)

37. A system comprising:
-
one or more processors associated with one or more computer servers for a system for providing multidimensional information; and a memory coupled to the processors comprising instructions executable by the processors, the processors operable when executing the instructions to; receive one or more requests from an external server for one or more recommendations, the multidimensional information defining a multidimensional space having at least three dimensions, each dimension having one or more attributes characterizing each element of the dimension, each dimension being capable of providing variable information, wherein at least one dimension corresponds to a user profile; retrieve information from the multidimensional space; generate at least one recommendation based on the retrieved information, wherein the at least one recommendation includes at least one multidimensional suggestion, the at least one multidimensional suggestion including the at least three dimensions, each of which is configured to include a plurality of further attributes, and wherein at least one of;
each of the dimensions is capable of having a type that is different from a type of another one of the dimensions, or at least one of the dimensions includes profiles; andsend the at least one recommendation to the external server in response to the one or more requests. - View Dependent Claims (38, 39, 40)
