Our Project - Warehouses with Interactive Content
We will be looking at interactive warehouses such as Netflix, YouTube and Google's 3D Warehouse to see how these sites handle changes and new content. We will primarily be focusing on Netflix because some information about their site is readily available. Netflix uses a rating system and recommendation system. Some of their algorithms are available to the general public. We will use that information to help us understand how their system works. We will look at other sites, as mentioned before. These sites require a little more investigation and detailed information will be harder to come by. We will also research the dynamic aspect of interactive warehouses. This should provide details as to how new content is stored and accessed by users. We will look at the system architecture, to see how warehouses distribute their content. By the end of our research, we hope to have an understanding of what works for warehouses and what does not. We will be able to provide suggestions to help improve the user experience with warehouses with interactive content.
Our understanding of the project has not changed. We each understand the project and what we are trying to accomplish. We know what each person needs to research. We will collaborate together so all of us can come up with solutions together. Our roles have so far stayed the same. We each have our area of research and will be showing the other group members what we have found. We will continue researching as the project progresses, but talk with each other about what we need to accomplish.

Our Work So Far:
Aaron Vimont (10/24/2010) - I have been research dynamic data warehousing and how users share and upload their own content. Unfortunately, many of the paper I have come across and very detailed and require a better understanding of data warehouse practices. I have found useful information about the basic structure of warehouses and common practices with data mining. This has helped me better understand some of the challenges facing warehouse designers. I still would like to find specifics for sites like YouTube or Netflix. Some of that can be hard to come by. I will contact Holger and Jane Meyers and hopefully they can help with my understanding on how some of these warehouses work.
