CHAPTER -  Business Hierarchies in OLAP and Data Warehouse

The subject of hierarchies is relevant to both OLAP and BIPM Delivery - Data Warehousing/Marting. Modeling of data is done, both in DW and OLAP, keeping the hierarchies in mind. However, OLAP is the platform where the hierarchies are manifested in their final shape for the purpose of analysis.

OLAP and Data Warehouse Dimensional Model Hierarchy   
The subject of hierarchies is relevant to both OLAP and BIPM Delivery - Data Warehousing/Marting. Modeling of data is done, both in DW and OLAP, keeping the hierarchies in mind. However, OLAP is the platform where the hierarchies are manifested in their final shape for the purpose of analysis.
 
Dimensional Model Simple Hierarchy   
Simple or strict hierarchy is the simplest form of business Hierarchies.
 
Dimensional non Strict Hierarchy   
Non-Strict hierarchy has one similarity and one non-similarity with strict hierarchies. A non-strict hierarchy have one level in a hierarchy path to be having only one parent level. However an instance (or member or value) in a level could belong to multiple instances in the parent level.
 
Multiple Path Hierarchy   
Multiple path hierarchies have a dimensional level belong to two different dimensional levels. However the criteria of analysis is same across the multiple paths.
 
Parallel Dimensional Hierarchy   
Parallel Hierarchies are most flexible hierarchy paths
