Abstract

With the growth of web-based applications and the increased popularity of the World Wide Web (WWW), the WWW became the greatest source of information available in the world leading to an increased difficulty of extracting relevant information. Moreover, the content of web sites is constantly changing leading to continual changes in Web users' behaviours. Therefore, there is significant interest in analysing web content data to better serve users. Our proposed approach, which is grounded on automatic textual analysis of a web site independently from the usage attempts to define groups of documents dealing with the same topic. Both document clustering and word clustering are well studied problems. However, most existing algorithms cluster documents and words separately but not simultaneously. In this paper, we propose to apply a block clustering algorithm to categorize a web site pages according to their content. We report results of our recent testing of CROKI2 algorithm on a tourist web site.
