[Stefan Schnabl, 2005]

Analysis of Application Area

General Description

Shopping analysis, Cluster / Pattern analysis, Web based area of application, all data analysed comes form online users, areas of application include shopping optimazation, web application development, technical optimization. The tool might also be interesting for pure online stores.

Special Issues

We identified the following spots of interest:

The user of MICE has different intentions than the person the data is about
Basket Case Analysis and Cluster Analysis are heavily statistical techniques and quite intense in terms of required knowledge
The questions wanted to be solved will gain on complexity once they are answered (report chain)
The answering will not be a single "result" but a (iterative) process.
Heavy task to realize a graphical abstryact view on the data.

Analysis of the Dataset

The data is organized in several tables which refer to each other by Item Ids. The following tables are available:

Target Group

Identifying the Target

The target for the exploration tool are mainly shopping analysts and web developer. It is the aim to suit the needs of persone who run the on-line portal (since they are interested in optimization). On the other hand one must not forget about the technical aspects, abd by that help the developers of such systems.

Special Issues of the Target Group

Extremely business focused.
Extremely technically focused.
Maybe forgetting the users needs to "ffel good".
