Dimensions in a data warehouse contain detailed information about facts and measurements stored in fact tables. A dimension can be a main dimension that directly connects to a fact table, a referenced dimension that is not directly connected, or a recursive dimension that references itself. A conformed dimension has the same meaning across any fact tables it is connected to.
