Subject: Re: [regrep] Does Registry need Business Analytics/Business IntelligenceCapabilities?
<Quote> Another potential issue may be that Registry operators can examine logs to determine who's CPP (or WSDL) has been examined the most, least and/or by which other users (if logged in and session information is logged). </Quote> Yes - and I put this under the category of "Reporting" rather than "Business Intelligence". I always consider BI to be a mechanism that (for example) would operate on (mine) a CRM database to make intelligent associations between data items and answer such questions as: "For users who purchased product A, what other products did they purchase in the X weeks following their purchase of product A?" or "What are the demographic characteristics of users who purchased products A, D, and G within an X-week time period?" I really don't see the need for registry users to perform queries of this intelligence level on audit logs for the registry. I would call the registry audit log queries simply "reporting".
