Web Mining.. From Web to Semantic Web, 1 conf., EMWF 2003

This book originates from the first European Web Mining Forum, EWMF 2003, held in Cavtat-Dubrovnik, Croatia in September 2003 in association with ECML/PKDD 2003.

The Web Mining Forum initiative is motivated by the insight that knowledge discovery on the Web from the viewpoint of the hyperactive analysis and from the viewpoint of interaction among persons and institutions are complementary, both for the conventional Web and for the Semantic Web.

This book presents an introductory roadmap paper, 4 invited papers and 6 workshop papers which were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and improvement. Among the topics addressed are Web usage mining, Web mining for the addition of semantics, semantically enhanced Web filtering, ontologies, wrapper induction, Web personalization, user profiling, user session evaluation, and evolution of Web usage patterns.
