The dimension components serve to identify the observations in a dataset or datacube. A set of values for all the dimension components is sufficient to identify a single observation. Examples of dimensions include the time to which the observation applies, a geographic region which the observation covers, or the sex or gender of respondents. In statistical aggregations, they serve as grouping variables by which data can be subset or filtered. Equivalent to qb:DimensionProperty in the W3C RDF Data Cube Vocabulary.
