An Object Model Example

Here’s an example of a semantic layer object model:

• Entities — Core business objects like Customer, Order, Product (mapped to database tables)
• Measures — Direct aggregations like total revenue, order count, average value
• Metrics — Business calculations like growth rate, conversion rate, lifetime value
• Dimensions — Attributes for grouping like region, category, segment
• Filters — Reusable conditions like active users, last 30 days, high value

These objects connect to form a navigable map of your business domain.
