Answer #1

Concept heirarchy is used to define mapping from lower level to higher level

Concept heirarchy is used in OLAP , to analyse data in various heirarchies.

For example :

Sales data can be analysed based on cities, based on state , based on country.

It enables to analyse data in any of the level, like citywise, statewise, country wise.

Hieirarchy of location is given as follows:

Level 0: Area   lower level:

Level 1: City

Level2: State

Level3: country higher level

Concept heirarchies allow us to group income of various customers: It allows to analyse the customer purchase patterns from lower level to higher level.

lower income group : income less than 50000

Middle income group : income above 50000 to 100000

Higher income group :income above 100000
