4
Definitions
An object maps to data or a derivation of data in the
database. For the purposes of multidimensional
analysis, an object can be qualified as one of three
types: a dimension, detail, or measure.
A class is a collection of objects based on
business categories.
A universe is a set of classes and objects intended
for a specific application or group of users.

5
Universes
A universe is a business-oriented mapping of the
data structure found in databases: tables,
columns, joins, etc.
A universe can represent any specific
application, system, or group of users. For
example, a universe can relate to a department in
a company such as marketing or accounting.
A universe can also pertain to a section within a
department or just about any set of organized
procedures such as a payroll or inventory
system. A universe consists of a set of objects,
grouped by classes.

6
Class
A class is a logical grouping of objects within a
universe. In general, the name of a class reflects a
business concept that conveys the category or type
of objects.
A class can be further divided into subclasses.

As designer, you are free to define hierarchies of

classes and subclasses into a model that best
reflects the business concepts of your company.

7
Objects
An object is the most refined component in a
universe. It maps to data or a derivation of data in
the database.

The name of an object suggests a concept drawn

from the terminology of a business or discipline.
Thus, for a product manager, objects might be
Product, Life Cycle, or Release Date while for a financial
analyst, objects might be Profit Margin, Return on
Investment, etc.

shared resources.

A personal connection is specific to one

user on one computer.
