摘要 |
The present invention automatically generates a dimensional model from an object model. The relationships in the object model are used to infer foreign key relationships in the dimensional model. A tagged format data schema is disclosed. The schema enables an object-relational model to be specified and decorated with metadata so that a dimensional model can be inferred therefrom. In accordance with one embodiment, based on information specified in the schema, a processing engine is able to autonomously generate a dimensional model. <IMAGE>
