This paper is a work on survey on the existing techniques of web mining and the issues related to it. The World Wide Web acts as an interactive and popular way to transfer information. Due to the enormous and diverse information on the web, the users cannot make use of the information very effectively and easily. Data mining concentrates on non trivial extraction of implicit previously unknown ...

Web mining is an important application of data mining techniques to extract knowledge from the Web. Web mining has been explored to a vast degree and different techniques have been proposed for a variety of applications that includes Web Search, Classification and Personalization etc. Most research on Web mining has been from a ‘data’ point of view. The Web mining research is a converging resea...

Web Usage Mining refers to the discovery of interesting information from user navigational behavior as stored in web access logs. While extracting simple information from web logs is easy, mining complex structural information is very challenging. Data cleaning and preparation constitute a very significant effort before mining can even be applied. We propose two new XML applications, XGMML and ...

Web usage mining is the application of data mining techniques to better serve the needs of web-based applications on the web site. In this paper, we analyze the web usage mining by applying the pattern recognition techniques on web log data. Pattern recognition is defined as the act of taking in raw data and making an action based on the ‘category’ of the pattern. Web usage mining is divided in...

The World Wide Web today provides users access to extremely large number of Web sites many of which contain information of education and commercial values. Due to the unstructured and semi-structured nature of Web pages and the design idiosyncrasy of Web sites, it is a challenging task to develop digital libraries for organizing and managing digital content from the Web. Web mining research, in...

The World Wide Web (WWW) is the largest distributed information space and has grown to encompass diverse information resources. Although the web is growing exponentially, the individual’s capacity to read and digest content is essentially fixed. The full economic potential of the web will not be realized unless enabling technologies are provided to facilitate access to web resources. Currently ...

Information explosion in World Wide Web has increased the interest in Web usage mining techniques in both commercial and academic areas. Study of interested web users; provide valuable information for web designers to quickly respond to their individual needs and for the efficient organization of the website. Among the several approaches like Association rule mining, classification, clustering,...

The World Wide Web has evolved in less than two decades as the major source of data and information for all domains. Web has become today not only an accessible and searchable information source but also one of the most important communication channels, almost a virtual society. Web mining is a challenging activity that aims to discover new, relevant and reliable information and knowledge by in...

Data collection and analysis in web mining faces certain unique challenges. Due to a variety of reasons inherent in web browsing and web logging, the likelihood of bad or incomplete data is higher than conventional applications. The analytical techniques in web mining need to accommodate such data. Fuzzy and rough sets provide the ability to deal with incomplete and approximate information. Fuz...
