Frequent Web navigation patterns generated by using Web usage mining techniques provide valuable information for several applications such as Web site restructuring and recommendation. In conventional Web usage mining, semantic information of the Web page content does not take part in the pattern generation process. In this work, we investigate the effect of semantic information on the patterns generated for Web usage mining in the form of frequent sequences. To this aim, we developed a technique and a framework for integrating semantic information into Web navigation pattern generation process, where frequent navigational patterns are composed of ontology instances instead of Web page addresses. The quality of the generated patterns is measured through an evaluation mechanism involving Web page recommendation. Experimental results show that more accurate recommendations can be obtained by including semantic information in navigation pattern generation, which indicates the increase in pattern quality.

Exploiting Navigational Queries for Result Presentation and Caching in Web Search Engines Ozcan, Rifat; Altıngövde, İsmail Sengör; Ulusoy, Ozgur (Wiley, 2011-04-01) Caching of query results is an important mechanism for efficiency and scalability of web search engines. Query results are cached and presented in terms of pages, which typically include 10 results each. In navigational queries, users seek a particular website, which would be typically listed at the top ranks (maybe, first or second) by the search engine, if found. For this type of query, caching and presenting results in the 10-per-page manner may waste cache space and network bandwidth. In this article, w...
Metadata-based modeling of information resources on the web Ozel, SA; Altıngövde, İsmail Sengör; Ulusoy, O; Ozsoyoglu, G; Ozsoyoglu, ZM (Wiley, 2004-01-15) This paper deals with the problem of modeling Web information resources using expert knowledge and personalized user information for improved Web searching capabilities. We propose a "Web information space" model, which is composed of Web-based information resources (HTML/XML [Hypertext Markup Language/Extensible Markup Language] documents on the Web), expert advice repositories (domain-expert-specified meta-data for information resources), and personalized information about users (captured as user profiles...
Efficiency and effectiveness of query processing in cluster-based retrieval Can, F; Altıngövde, İsmail Sengör; Demir, E (Elsevier BV, 2004-12-01) Our research shows that for large databases, without considerable additional storage overhead, cluster-based retrieval (CBR) can compete with the time efficiency and effectiveness of the inverted index-based full search (FS). The proposed CBR method employs a storage structure that blends the cluster membership information into the inverted file posting lists. This approach significantly reduces the cost of similarity calculations for document ranking during query processing and improves efficiency. For exa...
A prefetching method for interactive WEB GIS applications Yeşilmurat, Serdar; İşler, Veysi; Department of Computer Engineering (2010) A Web GIS system has a major issue of serving the map data to the client applications. Since most of the GIS services provide their geospatial data as basic image formats like PNG and JPEG, constructing those images and transferring them over the internet are costly operations. To enhance this inefficient process, various approaches are offered. Caching the responses of the requests on the client side is the most commonly implemented solution. However, this method is not adequate by itself. Besides caching ...
Semantically enriched web service composition in mobile environments Ertürkmen, K. Alpay; Doğaç, Asuman; Department of Information Systems (2003) Web Services are self-contained, self-describing, modular applications that can be published, located, and invoked through XML artefacts across the Web. Web services technologies can be applied to many kinds of applications, where they offer considerable advantages compared to the old world of product-specific APIs, platform-specific coding, and other أbrittleؤ technology restrictions. Currently there are millions of web services available on the web due to the increase in e-commerce business volume. Web se...
