Ontology and Web Usage Mining towards an Intelligent Web Focusing Web Logs

Today, Internet is a huge database which comprises of a large number of Web sites, search engines and other information. Due to the unstructured and semi structured data in the web pages, it is a challenging task for researchers to make a relevant and efficient search in warehouse of such type of database. Ontology may be a good mechanism for achieving this goal and Web Mining technique may be used to discover and extract meaningful or relevant information from the Web documents. In this paper, analysis of web usage mining has been made with the help of an example of sample data for which WebLog analyzer tool, “Web Log Expert” has been used and it has been appended with the development of an Ontology for an intelligent or efficient web and it’s relation with web usage mining. Finally, it also summarizes some other research challenges towards an intelligent machine and web environment.
