Abstract

There exists a gap betweenWeb mining and the effectiveness of using Web data. The main reason is that we cannot simply utilize and maintain the discovered knowledge using the traditional knowledge-based techniques due to the huge amount of discovered patterns, many noise in discovered patterns and even some useful patterns with uncertainties. In this chapter we discuss ontology-based problem solving approaches for building a bridge betweenWeb mining and the effectiveness of using Web data, which tend to automatically construct and maintain ontologies for representations, application and updating of discovered knowledge. We mainly discuss two models: the pattern taxonomy model and the ontology mining model. The former uses the up-to-date techniques of association mining and latter uses granule mining that directly discovers granules rather than patterns.
