Abstract:
A method of producing multidimensional output from a source database, the multidimensional output providing a solution to a problem relating to one or more dimensions of data associated with the source database, the method comprising:accessing said source database, wherein said accessing can be performed by a multidimensional integrator; defining an application related to the one or more dimensions of data associated with the source database; defining a Meta-model for the application, the Meta-model relating to the one or more dimensions of data associated with the source database, wherein said defining can be performed by a multidimensional architect; and creating a Meta-outline for the application, the Meta-outline including the one or more dimensions of data associated with the source data base; and generating multidimensional output based on at least one hierarchical relationship, the at least one hierarchical relationship being defined for the source database and relating to the application, the multidimensional output providing a solution to the problem related to the application.
