Dimensional Modeling vs Interval Tree

The concept Dimensional Modeling is like the Interval Tree (Segment Tree). Both speed up queries by storing information at different levels. The difference is that in Dimensional Modeling, levels are defined by users, while in Interval Tree, levels are usually defined by a complete binary tree. Interval Tree usually solves problems on one dimension, but it could also be applied to 2D problems. One dimension is not a limit.
