Try,
Looking at which items you want to report on, how they relate 1:N, M:N,
M:1 , this will give you dimensions and attributes within the
dimensions.
Possible Candidates
-----------------------------
Session/Visit (Which will contain a user or depending on schema style
have a FK to user, User Agent, IP Address if you want to assume that a
user can have only one IP (First or last))
Page (this can be further classified by contect, directory etc)
Site(I think you meant this by HomePage, this matters if you multiple
sites adn they share pages M:N, other server if a property or parent of
Page)
Status Code (If you want to report on this)
Date/Time
As for the fact table, its going to be a simple combination of the
chosen dimensions and maybe file size.
This is not a final solution but should get you going. |
