MeasureGroupNames: Specifies a list (1) of the names of groupings of the measures in the dimension. This element MUST be present.

Levels: Specifies the levels in the dimension. A list (1) of the Level elements as defined in the complex type ArrayOfLevel (section 2.2.4.43). The Dimension.Levels collection will contain all of the Levels that are used in all of the Hierarchies in a Dimension. This element MUST be present.

IsMeasureDimension: Specifies if the dimension is a measure dimension. This value MUST be TRUE when the value of Type is "Measure"; otherwise, it is FALSE. This element MUST be present.
