Domain-specific

• Measure (Data Warehouse)
  • Do not conflate measure additivity with Gray et al.'s distributive, algebraic, and holistic classification of aggregate functions.

Mechanisms

• Summary or Rollup Table
  • Materialize every possible group-by combination and you hit write amplification

    This sourceDefines the data cube as the family of aggregates across combinations of dimensions and identifies the resulting combinatorial scale as an implementation concern.

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
