Test and finalise the aggregation functionality
Persist aggregated and calculated (indicators) values in the DAO layer
- This will facilitate easier and faster data access for all reports and analysis modules
Also persist (or in other ways facilitate) easy access to hierarchy structure and the relationship between units (as in the DHIS 1.4 OrgUnitStructureOU'X' datamart tables)
- This is needed by e.g. pivot tables and reports that need both aggregated and disaggregated values (hence need the orgunit-parent-grandparent relationship between units to be mapped to a result set with the data value (as an example look at the PivotSource queries in the 1.4 datamart file, how the RoutineData tables are joined with the OrgUnitStructure tables)

Set up OpenOffice.org to work directly towards the DHIS 2.0 database and use the data pilot functionality in the Spreadsheet application to provide pivot tables for data analysis
