Web Mining
abstract

Web Mining is the extraction of interesting and potentially useful patterns and implicit information from artifacts or activity related to the World¬Wide Web. There are roughly three knowledge discovery domains that pertain to web mining: Web Content Mining, Web Structure Mining, and Web Usage Mining. Web content mining is the process of extracting knowledge from the content of documents or their descriptions. Web document text mining, resource discovery based on concepts indexing or agent¬based technology may also fall in this category. Web structure mining is the process of inferring knowledge from the World¬Wide Web organization and links between references and referents in the Web. Finally, web usage mining, also known as Web Log Mining, is the process of extracting interesting patterns in web access logs.
