Interface RtaSchema

All Superinterfaces:

MetadataElement, java.io.Serializable

All Known Subinterfaces:

MutableRtaSchema

public interface RtaSchema
extends MetadataElement

This is a logical collection of all related metrics artifacts like cubes and dimensions. A RtaSchema can have multiple Cubes. Each Cube defines a Measurement and one or more DimensionHierarchys

Each DimensionHierarchy has an ordered list of Dimensions.

A Dimension is the attribute of the measurement over which a metric is aggregated.
