In the present paper we prove that every finite dimensional non-atomic measure ν is open and monotone (viz. ν–1 preserves connected sets) relative to the usual Fréchet-Nikodým topology on its domain and the relative topology on its range. An arbitrary finite dimensional measure is found on the other hand to be biquotient.

Given a vector measure ν, we further investigate the properties of its integral map Tν: φ → ∫ φdν defined on the set of functions φ in L1(|ν|) for which φ(s) ∈ [0,1] |ν|-almost everywhere. When ν is finite dimensional, Tν is found to be always open. In general, when Tν is open, the set of extreme points of the closed convex hull of the range of ν is proved to be closed, and when ν and Tν are both open, the range of ν in itself is closed.
