چکیده

The Web has become a fertile ground for numerous research activities in mining. In this chapter we discuss research on finding targeted information on the Web. First, we briefly survey the research area. We focus in particular on two key issues: (a) mining to impose structures over Web data, for example by building taxonomies and portals, to aid in Web navigation, and (b) mining to build information processing systems, such as search engines, question answering systems, and data integration ones. Next, we describe two recent Web mining projects that illustrate the use of mining techniques to address the above two key issues. We conclude by briefly discussing novel research opportunities in the area of mining for information discovery on the Web.
