Towards semantic web mining

Semantic Web Mining aims at combining the two fast-developing research areas Semantic Web and Web Mining. The idea is to improve, on the one hand, the results of Web Mining by exploiting the new semantic structures in the Web; and to make use of Web Mining, on the other hand, for building up the Semantic Web. This paper gives an overview of where the two areas meet today, and sketches ways of how a closer integration could be profitable

Semantic Web Mining Review

This paper describes about Semantic Web Mining . The Purpose of this paper is to focus on how semantic web technologies can be used to mine the web , for relevant information extraction. Semantic Web Mining is about combining the two emerging research areas Semantic Web and Web Mining. Researchers work on improving the result off web mining by using semantic structure in the web and make use of Web Mining techniques for building the Semantic Web. In this manner both technologies are playing vital role to each other. Seman tic Web adds structure to the meaningful content of Web Pages ; hence information is given a well defined meaning; which is both human readable as well as machine - processable. This paper gives an overview of where the two areas meet today , and sketches ways of how a closer integration c ould be profitable

Web Usage Mining for UUM Learning Care Using Association Rules

The enormous of information on the World Wide Web makes it obvious candidate for data mining research. Application of data mining techniques to the World Wide Web referred as Web mining where this term has been used in three distint ways; Web Content Mining, Web Structure Mining and Web Usage Mining. E-Learning is one of the Web based application where it will facing with large amount of data. In order to produce the university E-Learning (UUM Educare) portal usage patterns and user behaviors, this paper implements the high level process of Web usage mining using basic Association Rules algorithm - Apriori Algorithm. Web usage mining consists of three main phases, namely Data Preprocessing. Pattern Discovering and Patern Analysis. Main resources, server log files become a set of raw data where it's must go through with all the Web usage mining technique, Web usage mining approach has been combined with the basic Association Rules, Apriori Algorithm to optimize the content of the university E-Learning portal. Finally this paper will present an overview of results with the analysis and Web administrator can use the findings for the suitable valuable actions

A Role of Semantic Web and Ontology in Information Retrieval

Web Mining is an application of data mining which focuses on discovering relevant data from Web content. The Semantic Web describes a web as data rather than documents. It characterizes information in understandable manner moreimplicitly for humans and computers.It wasdeveloped with the help of Ontology, which is the pillar of the Semantic Web. The semantic Web depends on integration and use of semantic data, and sematic data is depends on ontology. Ontology can provide a common vocabulary, a grammar for publishing data, and can supply a semantic d data which can be used to preserve the Ontologies and keep them ready for inference. This also helps in personalized filtering mechanisms for users to consume relevant, interesting information from web sites. By combining web mining and sematic web, we can retrieve relevant data called as semantic web mining. This paper gives an overview of sematic web mining and their applications

Web Usage Mining: A Survey on Pattern Extraction from Web Logs

As the size of web increases along with number of users, it is very much essential for the website owners to better understand their customers so that they can provide better service, and also enhance the quality of the website. To achieve this they depend on the web access log files. The web access log files can be mined to extract interesting pattern so that the user behaviour can be understood. This paper presents an overview of web usage mining and also provides a survey of the pattern extraction algorithms used for web usage mining

Web Mining for Web Personalization

Web personalization is the process of customizing a Web site to the needs of specific users, taking advantage of the knowledge acquired from the analysis of the user\u27s navigational behavior (usage data) in correlation with other information collected in the Web context, namely, structure, content, and user profile data. Due to the explosive growth of the Web, the domain of Web personalization has gained great momentum both in the research and commercial areas. In this article we present a survey of the use of Web mining for Web personalization. More specifically, we introduce the modules that comprise a Web personalization system, emphasizing the Web usage mining module. A review of the most common methods that are used as well as technical issues that occur is given, along with a brief overview of the most popular tools and applications available from software vendors. Moreover, the most important research initiatives in the Web usage mining and personalization areas are presented

Applying Classification Techniques in E-Learning System: An Overview

The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of application of data mining methods in e-learning process. E-learning is concerned with web-based learning which is totally depending upon internet. Use of data mining algorithms can help to discover the relevant information from database obtained from web based education system. This paper focused on e-learning problems to which data mining techniques have been applied, including: student’s classification based on their learning performance, detection of irregular learning behavior of students. This paper shows types of various modeling techniques used which includes: neural network, fuzzy logic, graph and trees, association rules and multi agent systems

KACST Arabic Text Classification Project: Overview and Preliminary Results

Electronically formatted Arabic free-texts can be found in abundance these days on the World Wide Web, often linked to commercial enterprises and/or government organizations. Vast tracts of knowledge and relations lie hidden within these texts, knowledge that can be exploited once the correct intelligent tools have been identified and applied. For example, text mining may help with text classification and categorization. Text classification aims to automatically assign text to a predefined category based on identifiable linguistic features. Such a process has different useful applications including, but not restricted to, E-Mail spam detection, web pages content filtering, and automatic message routing. In this paper an overview of King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST) Arabic Text Classification Project will be illustrated along with some preliminary results. This project will contribute to the better understanding and elaboration of Arabic text classification techniques
