[Mondrian] Annotations

[Roland Bouman]

Hi Julian,

I always thought it was a nice idea to have dimension types, just like
described here for XML/A

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms126180.aspx

and I noticed you have it too in olap4j:

http://www.olap4j.org/api/org/olap4j/metadata/Dimension.Type.html

Would the annotation feature be suitable to convey this type of information?
If so, then maybe this would be a good opportunity to establish this convention.

Cheers,

Roland
