+      <glossdef>
+        <para>In the context of DHIS2, aggregation refers to how data elements are combined within a particular hierarchical relationship. As an example, all the health facilities in a particular district would contribute to the total value for the particular district in question. Different aggregation operators are supported within DHIS2, such as SUM, AVERAGE, and COUNT.</para>

+      <glossdef>
+        <para>In the context of DHIS2, aggregate data refers to either data elements or indicators that have been derived from other hierarchical data sources. For instance, aggreagte facility data would result from the aggregate totals of all patients that have attended that facility for a particular service. Aggregate district data would result from the aggregate totals of all facilities contained with a particular district.</para>

+      <glossdef>
+        <para>A set of database tables in DHIS2 that contians processed data elements and indicator values that is generated based on aggregation rules and calculated data element and indicator formular. Datamart tables are used for analysis  and report production. Typically, users should not work directly with unaggregated data values, but rather with values that have resulted from a datamart export for analysis. </para>

+      <glossterm>Data element</glossterm>
+      <glossdef>
+        <para>A data element is the fundemental building block of DHIS2. Essentially it is a data value that has been actually observed or recorded. As an example the data element &quot;Number of fully immunized children&quot; would refer to the number of children that received this particular service. Data elements are always linked to a period as as well as an organizational unit. They optionally may be linked to other dimensions. </para>
