Dataware dp2

This document describes a data warehouse for a university with four dimensions: student, course, semester, and instructor. It contains two measures: count and average grade. The average grade measure stores the actual course grade at the lowest level and average grade at higher conceptual levels. It asks to draw star and snowflake schema diagrams for the data warehouse and identify OLAP operations to list average grades for each student in CS courses, given the base cuboid. It also asks how many cuboids a cube would contain if each dimension has five levels.

Data warehousing and data mining (DE551)

Design Problem 2

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 star schema diagram for the data warehouse

(b) Draw a snowflake schema diagram for the data warehouse.

(c) 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 Big University student.

(d) 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)?
