Building a time dimension based on a time data model and creating an association relationship between the time dimension and a second data model for analyzing data in the time dimension

Abstract

A computer-implemented method according to one approach includes defining a time data model and building a time dimension based on the time data model. The method further includes defining a second data model. An association relationship is created between the time dimension and the second data model for thereafter analyzing data of the second data model in the time dimension. A computer program product according to another approach includes a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith. The program instructions are readable and/or executable by a computer to cause the computer to perform the foregoing method. A system according to another approach includes a processor, and logic integrated with the processor, executable by the processor, or integrated with and executable by the processor. The logic is configured to perform the foregoing method.
