How the features like ubiquity, information density, and richness make e-commerce better than traditional commerce. Justify with examples

There are four major characteristics of e-commerce:

i. Ubiquity

ii. Global Reach

iii. Information Richness

iv. Information density

v. Personalization and Customization

vi. Interactivity


i. Ubiquity:

Because E-Commerce is ubiquitous, the market is able to extend its traditional operating hours. Online stores never close, it is available everywhere at any time. Ubiquity lowers transaction costs for the consumer/buyer. For example, if the user is at an outstation, he also can through www.acer.com get information about the product.


ii. Information Richness:

Advertising and branding are important parts of commerce. E-Commerce can deliver video, audio, animation, etc. to introduce products. Individuals may see information richness if a post contains a video related to a product and hyperlinks that allow him/her to look at or purchase the product and send information about the post via text message or email. An example is the richness is can make the websites become attract people to browse.


iii. Information density:

The total amount and quality of information available to all market participants. E-commerce technology reduces information costs and raises the quality of information. It makes information accurate, inexpensive, and plentiful. For example, if we can get clear information on the websites.

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)?

Suppose that a data warehouse consists of the four dimensions; date, spectator, location, and game, and the two measures, count and charge, where charge is the fee that a spectator pays when watching a game on a given date. Spectators may be students, adults, or seniors, with each category having its own charge rate. a) Draw a star schema diagram for the data b) Starting with the base cuboid [date; spectator; location; game], what specific OLAP operations should perform in order to list the total charge paid by student spectators at GM Place in 2004?
