Fundamental Analysis Services Objects

Measures are the numeric values, or

facts, that users analyze

Data sources store connection

information

Measure groups are logical groupingsof measures

Dimensions provide context tomeasures

Cubes are the objects that usersmanipulate to access the data

Data source views provide an abstractlayer for the data sources
