 * <!-- begin-model-doc -->
 * A Cube is a collection of analytic values (i.e., measures) that share the same dimensionality.  This dimensionality is specified by a set of unique Dimensions from the Schema.  Each unique combination of members in the Cartesian product of the Cube�s Dimensions identifies precisely one data cell within a multidimensional structure.
 * 
 * Synonyms: Multidimensional Array, Hypercube, Hypervolume.
