It probably makes sense for this to be a separate ingestion source, standalone from the existing mssql module.

The mapping you described above (catalog -> container, etc) should be fine. For dimensions and measures, we can model those as schema fields with tags of "Dimension" or "Measure". We already do something similar for Looker.
Eventually we want to add dimensions/measures as more first class things within datahub, and can migrate accordingly when the time comes.

| ## Future Work | ||
|
|
||
| Establish a complete data lineage from the data source to the analytical models. |

Given how important data lineage is to the discovery process, I wonder if this should be in scope for the initial version instead of left as future work.

Yes - the ingestion source can connect to SSAS and push metadata into datahub.
