Gathering Real OLAP Analysis Sessions: A Feedback
Résumé
The use of OLAP sessions, conducted by professional analysts, seems
to be the best way to assess the relevance of OLAP solutions based on former
queries (in particular with user-centric approaches, like recommendation or personalization
of queries). However, for scholar research teams, obtaining such
logs is often difficult. Moreover, the complexity of the queries produced in these
logs can lead to an important treatment of them, denaturing the performed analysis.
In this paper, we propose a feedback from real OLAP sessions performed
by graduate students in Business Intelligence. This feedback reports the design
of questionnaires and the use of an original user interface to easily conduct real
OLAP sessions.
