RE: Multidimensional XML


multidimensional xml
As in "too complex for work" or "too complex for work with multidimensional data"?
The first is "too loose to decide" and the second requires OLAP expertise.  OLAP
is one of those neat technologies that doesn't get much attention in the XML
world.  I've always considered XML for Analysis a ground breaking and much
ignored innovation.  Locally, I find when I inquire about it that the SQL practicioners
want to ignore OLAP as "too hard and we don't really need it".   So one might
approach this first by enumerating the cases for which OLAP is the simpler
approach and then the subset of these for which XML For Analysis is the
simplest approach.

does anyone but me think xml for analysis could be dragged kicking and screaming into the recurring argument about complexity thread? I would be very entertained by reading some high-class ranting against it.
