Abstract
In this paper a new tool which allows flexible querying on multidimensional data bases is presented. Linguistic F-Cube Factory is based on the use of natural language when querying multidimensional data cubes to obtain linguistic results. Natural language is one of the best ways of presenting results to human users as it is their inherent way of communication. Data warehouses take advantage of the multidimensional data model in order to store big amounts of data that users can manage and query by means of OLAP operations. They are a context where the development of a linguistic querying tool is of special interest.
