Techniques to implement time intelligence for application program are described. An apparatus may include a calendar application module. The calendar application module may be arranged to define and generate a calendar for an application program, the calendar application module to define time members for a time dimension of a multidimensional data model, assign a monotonically increasing unique identifier to each time member, and generate the calendar with time members from the time dimension using the unique identifiers. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Time intelligence for application programs

Efficient data structures are generated to enforce permissions on a multi-dimensional representation in a performance management application. A model site is generated having at least one model with at least one dimension. User permissions and group permissions are set for the model. The user permission and the group permissions are deployed to a relational database. A collective user permission table is generated based on the user permissions and the group permissions. Thus, an end user may receive permissions associated with a model and permissions associated with particular dimensions of a model without an inefficient consumption of resources.

Efficient data structures for multi-dimensional security

Systems, methods and computer-storage media are provided for distributing advertising content with improved accessibility for users and with a reduced-cost architecture for the web site provider. An advertising service directory (ASD) intercepts advertising requests containing registered words and phrases so that their location can be determined in a data structure. Through user profile, web site preference or additional information in the reference data structure, the delivery format of the content can also be detected. The request is then forwarded to the provider, removing the need for the first web site provider to actually serve the advertising content. Users can use a phrase or format in order to 'push' for advertising content. Thus, brand names and products can be accessible without the need to bid for ad placement. The effectiveness of advertising across many platforms can be increased by offering users an easier-to-remember retrieval method.
