Abstract:
Business intelligence has been widely integrated in enterprises to help their employees in their decision making process by delivering the needed information at the right time. Statistics from Gartner Group showed that the investment in the business intelligence domain has recently been very high. However, different studies and market researches showed that the pervasiveness and the usage percentage rate of business intelligence are still very low. The reason behind that is the complexity of the usage of business intelligence systems. Moreover, enterprise users lack analytical skills. To mitigate this problem, a new concept of self-service business intelligence has been developed. Within this system, the knowhow of power user is extracted and delivered to business users in form of recommendations. In this paper, we present the conception and development of the tracing module of this new system. This module has the goal of tracing the interactions of power users as the first step to e
xtract their procedural knowledge in form of analysis paths. This is done by creating a user interaction catalogue in which the interactions are defined based on their relevance to the knowledge extraction process. Finally, this paper presents the internal architecture of this tracing module and its components.
