(ii) Data cleaning, data transformation, refresh [Marks 5]
(iii) Discovery-driven cube, multifeature cube, virtual warehouse [Marks 6]
(b) What are the difference between three main types of data usage: information
processing, analytical processing and data mining? Discuss the motivation behind
OLAP mining. [Marks 16]
12. (a) For class characterization, what are the main differences between a data
