Estimating the term…
A measure factory for generating analytic measures includes data sets representing business activities arranged as columnar arrays with each column being associated with a distinct source rule that applies to the column when it is used as a data source. The measure factory includes factory rules that govern which operations on available data sources may be executed under what conditions in the measure factory, such as by taking into account the source rules and other applicable factory rules. A factory rule execution hierarchy governs the execution of ready factory rules that lack dependency on other factory rules before executing ready factory rules that have dependency on other factory rules. A script generation facility generates a script to process the plurality of factory rules according to the factory rule execution hierarchy.
A measure factory setup user interface, comprising:
A measure factory user interface that facilitates defining a measure factory comprising defining data set source rules that associate data within a plurality of columnar data sets, factory rules that govern at least one of extraction, transformation, computation, and loading of data within and among the plurality of data sets, user-selectable dimensions within the data set around which a user interface for viewing an output of the measure factory is arranged, and measures that are presented in the user interface.
