Features: This book is suitable for anyone who will participate in data warehouse engineering projects (including those based on Web data), particularly for structural designers, database administrators, data modelers, and engineering managers. It introduces detailed knowledge on Web-based data topics that are hard to find elsewhere. At the same time, the content of this book provides a universal framework for engineering design personnel, which serves as the foundation for any clickstream data warehouse engineering project. Technical consultants preparing to participate in the implementation of clickstream data warehouse projects should also read this book, as they are key figures in such projects. This book explains the Web technologies and IT infrastructure required to build a clickstream data warehouse and offers comprehensive guidance on the entire process of designing and implementing a clickstream data warehouse, including: planning, personnel allocation, and managing the entire project; designing a clickstream data warehouse using innovative meta-pattern design templates; selecting appropriate data warehouse software and storage subsystems to support the clickstream data warehouse; establishing extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL) mechanisms, as well as delivering data to end users for analysis. This book is primarily aimed at teachers, students, or engineering technicians who are learning or applying clickstream data warehouse technology in their work. It is especially suitable for application developers who have some understanding of data warehouse technology but wish to further enhance their ability to build clickstream data warehouses.
