WebME-Web mining environment

WebME is a Web mining environment (system) developed by Tsinghua University. It integrates many functions including: customization-based gathering, rough and subtle filtering, storing, indexing, recognizing, schema and data extracting, classifying, clustering and summarizing of Web pages, intelligent search engine, Web navigation, recommendation of Web information based on association of concept etc. We aim to utilize it as an experimental platform of Web mining on which we can design, implement, test and evaluate various algorithms of Web mining. In the paper, its architecture, main function and running environment are described.
