The data mart matrix shows the relationship between the possible data marts and dimensions. Any
dimension (column) with more than one X implies that this dimension must be conformed across
multiple data marts in order to fit into the Data Warehouse Bus Architecture. A brief description of
each data mart and dimension follows the matrix. ** Indicates data marts that are detailed in the
Dimensional Model Document.
