چکیده
One phenomenon is the continuously extending use of the Internet. The DIASTASIS project attempts to measure and assess Internet usage and to define the profile of Internet users. This is very important for many actors, as public and private policy makers, organizations and individuals. Internet Usage has several dimensions. One aspect is the frequency of internet usage as well as different types of internet usage, e.g. Email or web. With respect to web usage, the distribution of different topic is important. In Diastasis we first recognize the language of a we page using character n-grams. Then we categorize the content of different web pages into a number of categories by language-dependent text mining methods. Finally we use socioeconomic properties of the user to combine this with existing surveys by statistical grafting. This allows to develop new indicators to quantify Web usage and explore the Web behavio r of different socioeconomic groups.
