With the rapid growth of the World Wide Web, the use of automated Web-mining techniques to discover useful and relevant information has become increasingly important. One challenging direction is Web usage mining, wherein one attempts to discover user navigation patterns of Web usage from Web access logs. Properly exploited, the information obtained from Web usage log can assist us to improve the design of a Web site, refine queries for effective Web search, and build personalized search engines. However, Web log data are usually large in size and extremely detailed, because they are likely to record every aspect of a user request to a Web server. It is thus of great importance to process the raw Web log data in an appropriate way, and identify the target information intelligently. In this chapter, we first briefly review the concept of Web Usage Mining and discuss its difference from classic Knowledge Discovery techniques, and then focus on exploiting Web log sessions, defined as a group of requests made by a single user for a single navigation purpose, in Web usage mining. We also compare some of the state-of-the-art techniques in identifying log sessions from Web servers, and present some popular Web mining techniques, including Association Rule Mining, Clustering, Classification, Collaborative Filtering, and Sequential Pattern Learning, that can be exploited on the Web log data for different research and application purposes.

The Web

The web is a rich data mining source which is dynamic and fast growing, providing great opportunities which are often not exploited. Web data represent a real challenge to traditional data mining techniques due to its huge amount and the unstructured nature. Web logs contain information about the interactions between visitors and the website. Analyzing these logs provides insights into visitors' behavior, usage patterns, and trends. Web usage mining, also known as web log mining, is the process of applying data mining techniques to discover useful information hidden in web server's logs. Web logs are primarily used by Web administrators to know how much traffic they get and to detect broken links and other types of errors. Web usage mining extracts useful information that can be beneficial to a number of application areas such as: web personalization, website restructuring, system performance improvement, and business intelligence. The Web usage mining process involves three main phases: pre-processing, pattern discovery, and pattern analysis. Various preprocessing techniques have been proposed to extract information from log files and group primitive data items into meaningful, lighter level abstractions that are suitable for mining, usually in forms of visitors' sessions. Major data mining techniques in web usage mining pattern discovery are: clustering, association analysis, classification, and sequential patterns discovery. This chapter discusses the process of web usage mining, its procedure, methods, and patterns discovery techniques. The chapter also presents a practical example using real web log data.

The Web

This chapter focuses on predicting web user behaviors. When web users enter a website, every move they make on that website is stored as web log files. Unlike the focus group or questionnaire, the log files reflect real user behavior. It can easily be said that having actual user behavior is a gold value for the organizations. In this chapter, the ways of extracting user patterns (user behavior) from the log files are sought. In this context, the web usage mining process is explained. Some web usage mining techniques are mentioned.

Log File

The user behavior on a website triggers a sequence of queries that have a result which is the display of certain pages. The Information about these queries (including the names of the resources requested and responses from the Web server) are stored in a text file called a log file. Analysis of server log file can provide significant and useful information. Web Mining is the extraction of interesting and potentially useful patterns and implicit information from artifacts or activity related to the World Wide Web. Web usage mining is a main research area in Web mining focused on learning about Web users and their interactions with Web sites. The motive of mining is to find users' access models automatically and quickly from the vast Web log file, such as frequent access paths, frequent access page groups and user clustering. Through Web Usage Mining, several information left by user access can be mined which will provide foundation for decision making of organizations, Also the process of Web mining was defined as the set of techniques designed to explore, process and analyze large masses of consecutive information activities on the Internet, has three main steps: data preprocessing, extraction of reasons of the use and the interpretation of results. This paper will start with the presentation of different formats of web log files, then it will present the different preprocessing method that have been used, and finally it presents a system for “Web content and Usage Mining'' for web data extraction and web site analysis using Data Mining Algorithms Apriori, FPGrowth, K-Means, KNN, and ID3.

Web usage mining is a part of data mining. Data usage mining is divided into three parts 1) Data content mining 2) Data structured mining 3) Data usage mining. In this paper I am discussing about log files which are used in data usage mining. Log files are used to store user’s activity in web server using websites. So that websites can be improved by gathering user data. Web usage mining having three sub parts which is reprocessing, data discovery and data analysis. Further, in this paper, details about web log files are discussed. Three algorithms are discussed which are used for patterns of log files. There comparison is showed in this paper with the help of graphs.
