However, the explosion of information available on the Web has increased the need for tools and technologies for efficient document and multimedia concept storage, extraction, and management. The Web provides multi-dimensionality to information availability. However, search engines work in a linear manner. A search engine is basically an index, a collection of keywords and locations of documents represented by these keywords can be found on the Web. The Web itself and the search engine indices contain information about the documents.
Documents have different types of relationships among themselves.
Hyperlinks add depth to documents, providing the multi-dimensionality, which characterizes the Web. Documents have an address, a URL, which represents a logical location on a server, which may provide information about the relationship of this document to other on the server. Also, there is a relationship to other documents on the Web unknown to the document, the search engine index may discover such relationships. Web mining is interdisciplinary in nature, spanning across such fields as information retrieval, natural language processing, information extraction, machine learning, database, data mining, data warehousing, knowledge management, user interface design, and visualization.
