1. A method of aggregating data comprising the steps of:
- a) receiving a plurality of web log records; and
b) generating a volume cube having a plurality of dimensions based on the plurality of web log records; and
c) generating a first summary cube at a first level of abstraction based on the volume cube;
wherein the first summary cube has a plurality of cells and at least one parent dimension for each dimension of the volume cube;
wherein each cell includes a value that represents a summarization of corresponding cell values of the volume cube aggregated over all the dimensions of the volume cube.

Abstract
A method and system for analyzing web access. First, a plurality of web log records are received. Next, multi-dimensional summary information is generated based on the web log records. Then, derivation and analysis are performed to discover usage patterns and rules for supporting business intelligence by using the multi-dimensional summary information.
