Atlantis Press Paper Details: Integrating OLAP/SOLAP With E-Business: A New Conceptual Platform

E-business domains, such as e-commerce, e-government, e-learning, e-banking, have been considered for long time as killer domains for several data analysis techniques in order to analyze the data stored in their websites¡¯ databases. Most of the researchers have been focusing on using the Data Mining (DM) technique to analyze E-business websites¡¯ databases. The DM technique has shown interesting results, but this technique presents some restrictions concerning the database to be analyzed (structure, volume, etc.) and concerning the level of expertise of the users who will interpret the analysis results. In this paper, we show that Ebusiness domain can also provide all the right ingredients for successful application of other analysis techniques such as On Line Analytical Processing (OLAP). In addition, we propose to use a new and a promising technique called Spatial OLAP technique in order to analyze the spatial components. All our work, presented in this paper, is wrapped up in one conceptual framework which integrates E-business, OLAP and SOLAP together for easier data (non-spatial and spatial) analysis which leads to better decision making.
