Claim:
1. A method of analyzing biometric or medical data, comprising: receiving a user-specified selection of a data source, the data source including the biometric or medical data; receiving a user-specified selection of a type of data representation; receiving a user-specified description of a view to be constructed in accordance with the user-specified selection of the type of data representation; generating, by an application program interface (API) function and processor, a multidimensional query based on the user-specified type of data representation and the user-specified description of the view to be constructed; submitting, by the API function, the multidimensional query to an On-line Analytical Processing (OLAP) server for searching the data source; receiving, by the application program interface (API) function and processor, a multidimensional response from the OLAP server containing results acquired by the multidimensional query of the data source; simplifying, by the application program interface (API) function and processor, the multidimensional response, the simplifying of the multidimensional response including the API function mapping dimensional modeling terminology of the multidimensional response into non-multidimensional terminology understood by a user interface, the simplified multidimensional response including at least one reference level corresponding to a target region in the biometric or medical data, the at least one reference level not being a part of the multidimensional space and defined by a reference level set which identifies a cube with which a particular reference level is associated, a set of members that need to be matched for the at least one reference value to apply and a reference level value; and generating the view, for display on the user interface, based on the results contained in the simplified multidimensional response and in accordance with the user-specified selection of the type of data representation and the user-specified description of the view, the view further including the at least one reference level for a query response that matches a cell.
