Abstract:

Today, World Wide Web is perhaps the largest piece of information artefact collaboratively created by the mankind.  Since Web grows and evolves quickly, it is important to archive Web content for future references and to provide useful services over the archived content. In this talk, we will give an overview of the characteristics and trends of Web that pose some challenges to digital archives.  We will then present the different Web mining technologies that can be adopted in digital archives to address some of these challenges.  These include Web content mining, Web information extraction and social computing.  The talk will also cover some ongoing web mining research by the speaker's research group.
