The geographic dimension plays a fundamental role in multidimensional systems. To define a geographic dimension in a star schema, we need a table with attributes corresponding to the levels of the dimension. Additionally, we will also need one or more geographic layers to represent the data using this dimension. The goal of this package is to support the definition of geographic dimensions from layers of geographic information related to each other. It makes it easy to define relationships between layers and obtain the necessary data from them.
