With the increment of users and information on the Web, mining processes inspired in the traditional data mining ones have been developed. This new recent area of investigation is called Web Mining. Within this area, we study the analysis of web log files in what is called Web Usage Mining. Different techniques of mining to discover usage patterns from web data can be applied in Web Usage Minin...

web is a great source of information and knowledge, where a numerous of users find their interest. The data available is in form of structured (relational) and text data. Therefore, different kinds of data model can be implementable with web data for pattern discovery. Web mining is a data mining tool where the web related data is evaluated for pattern discovery and user navigation pattern. Add...

World Wide Web is a huge repository of web pages and links. It provides abundance of information for the Internet users. The growth of web is tremendous as approximately one million pages are added daily. Users’ accesses are recorded in web logs. Because of the tremendous usage of web, the web log files are growing at a faster rate and the size is becoming huge. Web data mining is the applicati...

Nowadays the World Wide Web has becoming one of the most comprehensive information resources. It probably, if not always, covers the information need for any user. Those differences make it challenging to fully use Web information in an effective and efficient manner. Web mining is the application of data mining techniques to extract knowledge from web data including web documents, hyperlinks, ...

with the spectacularly and unpredictable growth of information available over the Internet, WWW has become a powerful platform for storage & retrieval of information. Due to the heterogeneity & unstructured nature of data on WWW, searching of information is becoming cumbersome & time consuming task. Web mining came as solution for the above problem. Web mining is the means of utilizing data min...

For effective and efficient handling, web mining coupled with recommendation techniques provides personalized contents at the disposal of users. Web Mining is an area of Data Mining dealing with the extraction of interesting knowledge from the World Wide Web. Wh...

Semantic Web Mining aims at combining the two fast-developing research areas Semantic Web and Web Mining. This survey analyzes the convergence of trends from both areas: More and more researchers are working on improving the results of Web Mining by exploiting semantic structures in the Web, and they make use of Web Mining techniques for building the Semantic Web. Last but not least, these tech...

Frequent pattern mining is a heavily researched area in the field of data mining with wide range of applications. One of them is to use frequent pattern discovery methods in Web log data. Discovering hidden information from Web log data is called Web usage mining. The aim of discovering frequent patterns in Web log data is to obtain information about the navigational behavior of the users. This...
