79 79  A DataConstraint has a choice of two ways of specifying value subsets:
80 80  
81 -1. As a set of keys that can be present in the //DataSet// (DataKeySet). Each DataKey specifies a number of ComponentValues each of which reference a //Component// (e.g., Dimension, DataAttribute). Each ComponentValue is a value that may be present for a //Component// of a structure when contained in a //DataSet//. In addition, each DataKeySet may also include MemberSelections for AttributeComponents or Measures.
82 -1. As a set of CubeRegions each of which defines a “slice” of the total structure (MemberSelection) in terms of one or more MemberValues that may be present for a //Component// of a structure when contained in a //DataSet//.

83 83  
84 -The difference between (1) and (2) above is that in (1) a complete key is defined whereas in (2) above the “slice” defines a list of possible values for each of the// Component//s but does not specify specific key combinations. In addition, in (1) the association between //Component// and DataKeyValue is constrained to the components that comprise the key, whereas in (2) it can contain other component types (such as AttributeComponents or Measures). By adding MemberSelections to the DataKeySets of (1), AttributeComponents and Measures are constrained for the related DataKeys.

90 -In both CubeRegion and MetadataTargetRegion, the value in ComponentValue.value and MemberValue.value must be consistent with the //Representation// declared for the //Component// in the DataStructureDefinition (Dimension or DataAttribute) or MetadataStructureDefinition (MetadataAttribute). Note that in all cases the "operator" on the value is deemed to be "equals", unless the wildcard character is used '%'. In the latter case the "operation" is a partial matching, where the percentage character ('%') may match zero or more characters. Furthermore, it is possible in a MemberValue to specify that child values (e.g., child codes) are included in the Constraint by means of the cascadeValues attribute. The latter may take the following values:
