Documentation
One of three objects that form a datawarehouse-like star schema. These objects are convenient for transmitting data arranged in spreadsheet format, multi-dimensional crosstab format, or any aggregate-type data. This object defines the characteristic by which values are aggregated. Characteristics are often members of a set. For example, a count of students (fact) aggregated by males (characteristic), where males are a part of the set Gender:(male, female, unknown).
