In
this article, we are going to see normalization in action in a popular
web application. People who are not familiar with normalization please refer to my previous post.
We all
know very well the capability of Google to exploit the available
technology and give innovative products to us. Google insights for
search is one such great product from Google. This application's
concept is almost completely based on the normalization concepts.

Venkatesh, this is a great article, and it does demonstrate the value of using data normalization to present (and disguise) data results for interpretation reasons. And, I can provide another application for which data normalization is great: when evaluating the impact of some event on a group versus a larger population - even in the absence of a true control group. Even without a control group, it is possible to evaluate the impact of a certain event, say, hot weather, on the energy usage habits of a subset of households - RELATIVE - to the entire population of an area.
