bim in .bim file stands for in SSAS


I couldn't find the what bim stands for in .bim file extension in SSAS tabular model. I did some search on google and SSAS documents, and couldn't find any information?

My concern would look a smaller one, but, I am afraid that when I start working real world, and failed to know what bim stands for in .bim. Could any one please help me find this information.

Thank you for me your valuable time.

  • It stands for Business Intelligence Model, or Business Intelligence Metadata, I heard both terms used as the name over the years at conferences and in reference literature.
