Abstract

Methods, systems, and computer-readable storage media for receiving, by a summarized view platform, a request for a summarized view, the request including one or more attributes, identifying, by the summarized view platform, a MDO within an EDW system based on the one or more attributes, receiving, by the summarized view platform, a query result including a set of values, and displaying, by the summarized view platform, the summarized view of the MDO, the summarized view including attributes of the MDO, at least one attribute being populated with a value of the set of values.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A computer-implemented method for providing summarized views of multi-dimensional objects (MDOs) in enterprise data warehousing (EDW) systems, the method being executed by one or more processors and comprising:
receiving, by a summarized view platform, a request for a summarized view, the request comprising one or more attributes; identifying, by the summarized view platform, a MDO within an EDW system based on the one or more attributes; receiving, by the summarized view platform, a query result comprising a set of values; and displaying, by the summarized view platform, the summarized view of the MDO, the summarized view comprising attributes of the MDO, at least one attribute being populated with a value of the set of values.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the summarized view comprises a hierarchy of attributes, at least one attribute comprising a key performance indicator (KPI) associated with the MDO.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein attributes of the MDO comprise two or more of context, domain, category, group, entity, and KPI.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein attributes of the MDO comprise a set of KPIs.

5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving user input indicating selection of the summarized view, and, in response, providing the MDO for one or more of reporting and analytics.

6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting a query based on a context, the query result being provided in response to the query.

7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the query is provided based on searchable attributes comprising one or more user-selected meta-data attributes.

8 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium coupled to one or more processors and having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations for providing summarized views of multi-dimensional objects (MDOs) in enterprise data warehousing (EDW) systems, the operations comprising:
receiving, by a summarized view platform, a request for a summarized view, the request comprising one or more attributes; identifying, by the summarized view platform, a MDO within an EDW system based on the one or more attributes; receiving, by the summarized view platform, a query result comprising a set of values; and displaying, by the summarized view platform, the summarized view of the MDO, the summarized view comprising attributes of the MDO, at least one attribute being populated with a value of the set of values.

9 . The computer-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein the summarized view comprises a hierarchy of attributes, at least one attribute comprising a key performance indicator (KPI) associated with the MDO.

10 . The computer-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein attributes of the MDO comprise two or more of context, domain, category, group, entity, and KPI.

11 . The computer-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein attributes of the MDO comprise a set of KPIs.

12 . The computer-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein operations further comprise receiving user input indicating selection of the summarized view, and, in response, providing the MDO for one or more of reporting and analytics.

13 . The computer-readable storage medium of claim 8 , wherein operations further comprise transmitting a query based on a context, the query result being provided in response to the query.

14 . The computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the query is provided based on searchable attributes comprising one or more user-selected meta-data attributes.

15 . A system, comprising:
a computing device; and a computer-readable storage device coupled to the computing device and having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations for providing summarized views of multi-dimensional objects (MDOs) in enterprise data warehousing (EDW) systems, the operations comprising:
receiving, by a summarized view platform, a request for a summarized view, the request comprising one or more attributes;
identifying, by the summarized view platform, a MDO within an EDW system based on the one or more attributes;
receiving, by the summarized view platform, a query result comprising a set of values; and
displaying, by the summarized view platform, the summarized view of the MDO, the summarized view comprising attributes of the MDO, at least one attribute being populated with a value of the set of values.

16 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the summarized view comprises a hierarchy of attributes, at least one attribute comprising a key performance indicator (KPI) associated with the MDO.

17 . The system of claim 15 , wherein attributes of the MDO comprise two or more of context, domain, category, group, entity, and KPI.

18 . The system of claim 15 , wherein attributes of the MDO comprise a set of KPIs.

19 . The system of claim 15 , wherein operations further comprise receiving user input indicating selection of the summarized view, and, in response, providing the MDO for one or more of reporting and analytics.

20 . The system of claim 15 , wherein operations further comprise transmitting a query based on a context, the query result being provided in response to the query.
