Does this mean that they refer to functionality that won't ever be implemented (i.e. reserved for future use but later a decision was made that they weren't needed) or just have't been done yet.
If I create dimension, fact or bwhierarchy tables I can see flags appearing in DOMAIN.BWTABLES on the entries. It occurs to me that data marts might be a niche market for SAP-DB where the savings on server licencing would be a sig- nificant part of the total cost of implementation (at least on simpler ones such as sales/BI analysis apps). A simple web-based OLAP browser (this dimension on X, that dimension on Y - run query - click on column/row to drill down) would be fairly easy to write in any of the scripting languages.

Are these current and, if so, what do they do? Forget them all, they are/were meant for future use.
