Define E-commerce Framework. And examples also.

E-commerce Framework

The term e-commerce framework is related to software frameworks for e-commerce applications. They offer an environment for building e-commerce applications quickly.

E-Commerce frameworks are flexible enough to adapt to your specific requirements. As result, they are suitable for building virtually all kinds of online shops and e-commerce-related (web) applications.

  • allow replacing all parts of the framework code
  • forbid changes in the framework code itself
  • contain bootstrap code to start the application
  • be extensible by user-written code

E-Commerce frameworks should

  • define the general program flow
  • consist of reusable components
  • be organized in functional domains

Examples of e-commerce frameworks are

  • Aimeos (Laravel, Symfony, TYPO3, SlimPHP, Flow)
  • Spryker (Symfony only)
  • Sylius (Symfony only)

They provide an overall structure for e-commerce-related applications. Furthermore, they implement the general program flow e.g. how the checkout process works. Contrary to monolithic shop systems, existing program flow can not only be extended but completely changed according to your needs.

Suppose that a data warehouse for Big-University consists of the following four dimensions: student, course, semester, and instructor, and two measures count and avg_grade. When at the lowest conceptual level (e.g., for a given student, course, semester, and instructor combination), the avg_grade measure stores the actual course grade of the student. At higher conceptual levels, avg_grade stores the average grade for the given combination. a) Draw a snowflake schema diagram for the data warehouse. b) Starting with the base cuboid [student, course, semester, instructor], what specific OLAP operations (e.g., roll-up from semester to year) should one perform in order to list the average grade of CS courses for each BigUniversity student. c) If each dimension has five levels (including all), such as “student < major < status < university < all”, how many cuboids will this cube contain (including the base and apex cuboids)?
