Global Elements

RecordLayout (RecordLayoutType): [substitution: p:BaseRecordLayout]

Dimension (DimensionType):

MeasureReference (MeasureReferenceType):

NCubeInstance (NCubeInstanceType): Container to group data from common NCubes - this allows for NCube level attributes to be defined

DataItem (DataItemType): Identifies a physical storage location for an individual data entry, serving as a link between the physical location and the logical content description of each data item. Note that only one data item is described here, since the structure describes all data and meta data for the NCube. That is to day that in this desciption, each row of data in the referenced file corresponds to the same NCube of data.

NCubeReference (r:ReferenceType): Reference to the logical NCube description.

Attribute (AttributeType): Component to provide cell level attribute values.

Measure (MeasureType): When individual measures are stored in separately identifiable locations repeat Measure to define each measure and storage location. When multiple measures are stored as an ordered array in a single location list each measure in the array as a MeasureReference with its specified arrayOrder within a single Measure definition.

VariableReference (r:ReferenceType): The variable ID where the coordinate value is found (for files where one of the dimensions of the matrix has a different record for each category and the value of the category is found in a specific variable, e.g., SIC codes in US County Business Patterns).

AttributeReference (r:ReferenceType): Reference to attribute description.


Complex Types

RecordLayoutType: Describes the layout of an NCube data structure.

NCubeInstanceType: A container for defining an instance of an NCube, which allows specifying the values of the attributes attached to a NCube.

DataItemType: Identifies a physical storage location for an individual data entry, serving as a link between the physical location and the logical content description of each data item.

DimensionType: A dimension describes the rank or order of the dimension within the NCube structure and provides the specific coordinate value of the dimension for the data item.

MeasureType: When individual measures are stored in separately identifiable locations repeat Measure to define each measure and storage location. When multiple measures are stored as an ordered array in a single location list each measure in the array as a MeasureReference with its specified arrayOrder within a single Measure definition.

MeasureReferenceType: Reference to measure description.

AttributeType: Provides for a choice between an explicit value, or a location in a file where the value can be found.
