"An Inclusive Survey on Data Preprocessing Methods Used in Web Usage Mining"

Several data mining techniques applied in Web usage mining applications for discovering user access pattern from web log data. To understand and provide better services it will require Web-based applications. Web usage mining is one of the types of Web mining. Web mining is the technique to extract knowledge from web content, structure and usage. It is the collection of technologies to accomplish the possible of extracting valuable knowledge from the World Wide Web and its usage pattern. Web mining enables to find out relevant result from Web data including web document, hyperlink between documents, usage log of website etc. There are three main areas of web mining research –content, structure and usage. This paper provide an overview of previous and existing work in all three areas, and also define an overview of data preprocessing process like Data Cleaning, User Identification, Session Identification, Transaction Identification, Path Completion used in Web usage mining.
