Abstract: . In OLAP applications, data are modeled as points in a multidimensional space. Dimensions themselves have structure, described by a schema and an instance; the schema is basically a directed acyclic graph of granularity levels, and the instance consists of a set of elements for each level and mappings between these elements, usually called rollup functions. Current dimension models restrict dimensions in various ways; for example, rollup functions are restricted to be total. We relax... (Update)

...dimension we cannot have some cities that rollup to provinces and some to states. A number of researchers and practitioners [11, 8, 13, 6] have dropped this restriction over the past few years, yielding heterogeneous dimensions, which are needed to represent more...
