Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to methods and systems for realizing multidimensional objects. Background technique
[0002] Objects are used extensively in software environments as a mechanism for bringing together data components and procedures for operating on those data components. Objects are single-dimensional entities, where the object value or "actual data" is that single dimension. Actual data (also known as metadata) helps the system work with applications and specific objects.
[0003] However, as software and hardware become more complex and provide additional complexity for performing tasks, the basic objects and individual dimensions become limiting factors both for local use and for interacting with cloud applications and services. Contents of the invention
[0004] The following provides a simplified overview in order to provide a basic understanding of some of the novel embodiments described herein. This summary is not an exhaustive...
