|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | Complete Flat Set | A set of members, no root member, no aggregation | |
| 2. | Simple Flat Aggregation | A set of members, with aggregation, therefore MUST have root member. | |
| 3. | Nested Member Aggregation | A set of members, with aggregation, also has nested aggregation. Region and country are represented using one characteristic. | |
| 4. | Multiple Characteristics | A set of members, with aggregation, also has nested aggregation. Region and country are represented using two characteristics. (Note that the meaning of the information did not change, only the representation method.) | |
| 5. | Explicit Characteristics | A set of members, with aggregation, all characteristics are explicitly provided (rather then implied). Shows intersections between multiple tables where conflicts do NOT exist. (i.e. dimension defaults are not necessary) | |
| 6. | Intersecting Tables | A set of members, with aggregation, all characteristics are explicitly provided (rather then implied). Shows intersections between multiple tables where conflicts would exist if dimension defaults are not used. | |
