A complete framework for Web mining

With the rapidgrowing number of WWWusers, hidden information becomes ever increasingly valuable. As a consequence of this phenomenon, mining Web data and analysing on-line users‘ behaviour and their on-line traversal partem have emerged as a new area of research. Primarily based on the Web servers‘ log files, the main objective of traversal pattem mining is to discover the frequent patterns in users‘ browsing paths and behaviours. This paper presents a completeflamework for web mining, allowing users to pre-define physical constraints when analysing complex traversal patterns in order to improve the e#ciency of algorithms and offer flexibility in producing the results.
