METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR MULTI-DIMENSIONAL AGGREGATION USING COMPOSITION

Abstract:

Multi-dimensional aggregation using user interface workflow composition is described. Data for a computer implemented process is in a set of related data objects in a data store with each object in the set of related data objects representing an entity modelled in the process. A number of levels for a multi-dimensional aggregation associated with a request is determined where each level of the multi-dimensional aggregation represents a different dimension of data values to be aggregated. Data is aggregated at the levels of aggregation based on the relationships between parent objects and children objects. The data for a final level of aggregation is output to a user interface. The final result includes multiple dimensions of data.
