10. A non-transitory computer readable information storage medium having stored thereon computer readable program code, the computer readable program code comprising instructions to perform a method comprising: receiving, from an input device, a user-specified selection of a data source, the data source including the biometric or medical data; receiving, from the input device, a user-specified selection of a type of data representation; receiving, from the input device, a user-specified description of a view to be constructed in accordance with the user-specified selection of the type of data representation; generating, by an application program interface (API) function, processor and memory, a multidimensional query based on the user-specified type of data representation and the user-specified description of the view to be constructed; submitting, by the API function, the multidimensional query to an On-line Analytical Processing (OLAP) server for searching the data source; receiving, by the application program interface (API) function, processor and memory, at least a multidimensional response from the OLAP server containing results obtained based on the multidimensional query of the data source; simplifying, by the application program interface (API) function, processor and memory, the multidimensional response, the simplifying of the multidimensional response including the API function mapping dimensional modeling terminology of the multidimensional response into non-multidimensional terminology compatible with a user interface, the simplified multidimensional response including at least one reference level corresponding to a target region in the biometric or medical data, the at least one reference level not being a part of the multidimensional space and being defined by a reference level set which identifies a cube with which a particular reference level is associated and a set of members that need to be matched for the at least one reference value to apply and a reference level value; and generating the view for display on the user interface based on the results contained in the simplified multidimensional response and in accordance with the user-specified selection of the type of data representation and the user-specified description of the view, the view further including the at least one reference level for a query response that matches a cell.

The media of claim 10 , further comprising computer readable program code that, if executed, defines a schema with a set of cubes, each cube defining one or more dimensions and one or more measures, at least one measure of a given cube being represented multiple times in the given cube, each representation corresponding to a different possible aggregation of that measure.
