Visualizing and manipulating multidimensional OLAP models graphically
First Claim
1. A computer-based method of visualizing a multidimensional model comprising:
- retrieving data describing a multidimensional model comprising a plurality of groups, each group having one or more levels, the levels having a hierarchical order;
displaying a plurality of sets comprising one or more level indicators, each set being side-by-side to at least one other set, each set being associated with one group of the plurality of groups, the one or more level indicators of each set being associated with the one or more levels of the associated group, respectively, the one or more level indicators of each set being displayed in accordance with the hierarchical order of their associated levels; and
displaying a visual indicator associated with a subset comprising one or more level indicators of each set.

Abstract
Various embodiments of a method, apparatus and article of manufacture for graphically visualizing and manipulating a multidimensional OLAP model are provided. Data describing a multidimensional model is retrieved. The multidimensional model comprises a plurality of groups. Each group has one or more levels. The levels have a hierarchical order. Sets comprising one or more level indicators are displayed. Each set is side-by-side to at least one other set. Each set is associated with one group of the plurality of groups. The one or more level indicators of each set are associated with the one or more levels of the associated group, respectively. The one or more level indicators of each set are displayed in accordance with the hierarchical order of their associated levels. A visual indicator associated with a subset comprising one or more level indicators of each set is displayed.
