Data Analysis

Transaction log data on user actions in the course of the search (see section 2.3.4) was prepared for analysis by being loaded into an Oracle database, and SQL scripts were written to produce the summary tables. Transaction log analysis has been extensively used in previous projects, for the current project some effort was made to generate tabular data in a more standard form. The intention is to use the quantitative data as a basis for carrying out more longitudinal and qualitative follow-up analyses in the future.
