MINING THE COSTA RICAN WEB

Esteban Meneses

2006

Abstract

There is much to say about the structure and composition of a local web. Identification of authorities, topics and web communities can be used to improve search engines, change a portal design or to develop marketing strategies. The Costa Rican web was chosen as a test case for web mining analysis. After the study we obtained several descriptors of the web as well as the answers to typical questions like how many pages on average a site has, which file type is preferred for building a dynamic site, what is the most referenced site, which sites are similar, and many more.
