There is a striking increase in the availability of statistical data in the Linked Open Data (LOD) cloud, and the Cube vocabulary has become the de facto standard for the description of multi-dimensional data. However, the reuse of a standard vocabulary needs to pair with modeling strategies that make it easy to locate, consume and integrate information. In this paper, we developed a quantitative study on how the main concepts of the Cube vocabulary are applied in practice, using the

Our focus was on the commonly used strategies for multi-dimensional modeling using Cube because they have an impact on the automatic location and consumption of data. The results provide feedback to work that addresses Cube usage and establish a baseline for evolution comparison.
