A client-side representation of a dimension in an analytic workspace. An MDDimension
provides, to a java client, information about a dimension in the workspace.
An OLAP dimension is a structure that categorizes data. For example, in analyzing Sales data, typical dimensions would be Product, Time, and Geography.
As an MDFolder
, an MDDimension
can contain other MDObjects
. An MDDimension
can contain MDAttribute
objects and MDHierarchy
objects.
