A multi-dimensional structure called the data cube. it is a data abstraction that allows one to view aggregated data from a number of perspectives. Conceptually, the cube consists of a core or base cuboid, surrounded by a collection of sub-cubes/cuboids that represent the aggregation of the base cuboid along one or more dimensions. We refer to the dimension to be aggregated as the measure attribute, while the remaining dimensions are known as the feature attributes.
