* '''Metadata on dimensions and measures''' - ActiveData also provides context to the data it holds. It serves the purpose to allow exploration and discovery by third parties; by describing unit-of-measure, how dimensions relate to others, and provide human descriptions of the columns stored. This metadata is also invaluable in automating the orientation and formatting of dashboard charts: Knowing the domain of an axis allows code to decide the best (default) chart form, and provides logically reasonable aggregate options. | * '''Metadata on dimensions and measures''' - ActiveData also provides context to the data it holds.

* '''Has a security model''' - Simpler applications can avoid the complications of a security model if it is baked into the ActiveData solution. If ActiveData is to become mainstream it is important that it can manage sensitive data and PII. | * '''Has a security model''' - Simpler applications can avoid the complications of a security model if it is baked into the ActiveData solution.

The service listens at http://localhost:5000/query and accepts queries in [https://github.com/klahnakoski/Qb/blob/master/docs/Qb_Reference.md Qb format]. A tutorial is sorely needed, and work is in progress. In the meantime, please read the [https://github.com/klahnakoski/ActiveData/blob/master/tests/test_unittests.py testing code which sends some unittest-specific queries] | |||
