Abstract

This paper describes a visualization of web access log by FACTGraph. As the increase of large web sites with complex structure, web access logs have a clue to understand visitor activities and the improvement of site structure. For web access log analysis, statistical methods and web usage mining are used to recognize trend of pages and relationships between pages. However, these methods are independently applied, and there are no instances to visualize trends and relationships at the same time. In order to resolve them, we use FACT-Graph which shows the trend and relationships between terms for time-series text data. To apply FACT-Graph, we regard pages and sessions in web access log as terms and documents. In the experiment using 9 million access log at Osaka Prefecture University, we show the feature of access log from the global view by FACT-Graph.
