8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the defining the analysis to be performed on the set of data for each question of the plurality of questions comprises: creating one or more question templates for the question; identifying one or more measures of the analysis and one or more dimensions of a collection of data upon which the analysis will be performed; defining processes for performing the analysis; identifying one or more observations available on results of performing the defined processes; and creating one or more answer templates for each identified observation.
10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the performing the defined analysis for the identified at least one question comprises: identifying the analysis to be performed and dimensions of data to be used based at least partially on the identified at least one question; collecting, from the set of data, a subset of data based at least partially on the identified dimensions; executing the defined processes for performing the analysis on the collected subset of data; populating one or more answer templates with analysis results based at least partially on the identified one or more observations for the analysis; and generating the natural language answer based at least partially on the populated one or more answer templates.
