# Understanding Dimensions

A dimension is an OLAP Catalog metadata entity. This means that it is a logical object, identified by name and owner, within the OLAP Catalog. Logical OLAP dimensions are fully described in.

Note: Dimensions in `CWM2` map directly to columns in dimension tables and have no relationship to Oracle database dimension objects.

Use the procedures in the `CWM2_OLAP_DIMENSION` package to create, drop, and lock `CWM2` dimension entities and to specify descriptive information for display purposes. To fully define a `CWM2` dimension, follow the steps listed in "Creating a Dimension".
