Abstract: The method for the automated annotation of multi-dimensional database reports with information objects of a data repository comprises the following steps: a) identifying elements of the schema of the multi-dimensional database that define a given multi-dimensional database report, b) defining a graph structure between the elements of the schema of the multi-dimensional database and associated classes of the schema of the data repository by means of the mapping associations, c) by means of a structural analysis, finding at least one path in the graph structure between a given element and classes of the schema of the data repository, d) evaluating the relevance of a class of the schema of the data repository for the given element by determining (1) the length of a path or paths between the given element and the class or classes according to some length measure and (2) the number of paths between the given element and its associated class or classes wherein (1) the smaller the length, the larger is the relevance
