Folks, I am developing a datastore for SDMX data sources (clearly, a geometryless one). It kind of works, with CQL/XML filters used to bind the dimensions to values and choose the one measure to return.
However, I don't really know how to return the list of members of a dimension, list which is necessary to build the filter. For instance, before selecting all the male resident population of a certain country, I need to know the members of the "Gender" dimension, the list of all measures available, and the members of the "Country" dimension as well. One (lame) way could be to add ancillary feature types, to be queried before querying the "real" data. Say we have a "Population" store (SDMX), then the following feature types would be added automatically: - Population_Cube (Cube itself) - Population_Cube_Gender (Ancillary feature type containing the members of the Gender dimensions, say: "M", "Male"; "F", "Female") - Population_Cube_Mesure (Ancillary feature type containing the measures, say: "1", "Resident population"; "2", "Total population") - Population_Cube_Country (Ancillary feature type containing the members of the Country dimensions, say: "AL", "Albania"; "AU", "Australia" , ...) Any better idea?
