Abstract

This document should help users of the CEBS taxonomie (COREP and FINREP) to understand the Matrix Schemas published on www.eurfiling.info web site. In the following the basic aspects of the mulitdimensional data models are explained.

Multidimensional terminology

Description

Most of the data presented in tables can be divided in different categories or rather breakdowns. In the table below the gross revenue is broken down by product group and country. The information contained is far more detailed as showing only the aggregated sum of gross revenue and allows therefore a more comprehensive analysis. Multidimensionality is widely used for cost accounting and the corresponding supervision.

The table shows a two dimensional view on the data but in fact three dimensions are included.

Measures

The data that is analysed often in aggregations are called maeasures because they are (mostly) numeric values and measureable. Having only gross revenue and a value is not enough to interpret the data so they are analysed by using "by" conditions. Those "by" conditions are reflected in the example above "by" product group and "by" country.

Multidimensional data is often shown three dimensional cube. The restriction on three dimensions is based on the limitations of the graphical representation.
