Ha, I was just going to suggest something similar, along the lines of
Apache's mod_usertrack. Since we get sessions for free, click-stream
analysis can actually be quite simple; it's really nothing more than the
'semantic logging' you suggest.
Any takers? I'd write it myself but will be a bit busy over the next few
days. I can probably pick it up later if nobody else wants to.
I haven't thought through the best way to let users analyze the data.
Were you thinking (like me) that we could also provide a tool, or
guidelines, to interpret the 'semantic logging' data we stored? Perhaps a
tag-based interface to the data would also be a good idea, just to
demonstrate the technique?
