Claim:
1. A method for applying dimension widening rules to aggregate data, the method comprising: receiving, at a processing circuit, a request from a client device for aggregate data stored in an aggregates database; identifying, by the processing circuit, a key-to-value dimension widening rule that applies to an aggregated data element of the requested data, the key-to-value dimension widening rule comprising a non-aggregated value dimension; determining, by the processing circuit, a quantity of non-aggregated data elements that combined to form the aggregated data element; calculating, by the processing circuit, a widened value dimension for the aggregated data element using the determined quantity and the non-aggregated value dimension; reporting the widened value dimension to the client device in response to the request; modifying, by the processing circuit, the request for aggregate data using a dimension widening schema associated with the client device; and extracting the aggregated data element from the aggregates database in response to a determination that the aggregated data element satisfies the modified request.
