"Laurie Lock Lee, a KM consultant at CSC and a regular at the NSW KM Forum, will talk to us about the State-of-the-art in Web Mining

The World Wide Web is the world's largest information repository and growing at an astounding rate. The volume and richness of information available for both business and personal use is undoubted. If only it were easier to find and use it! A survey of CSC staff indicated that over 80% of information accessed to support day to day decision-making came from unstructured and often web accessible sources. This result is consistent with similar industry surveys conducted on unstructured information use.

Web Mining is a natural extension of data mining, though with the web (both the Internet and intranets) as its primary data source. The unstructured and textual nature of the web presents some significant challenges, but also some exciting possibilities. This presentation will review the current state of the art in Web Mining. The presentation, based on research conducted under a CSC Leading Edge Forum Technology Grant, will include some novel Web Mining application examples. One example will show how web mining can help us understand our positioning in certain markets e.g. BPO, CRM etc. Another will look inside CSC's 700+ communities to explore the informal side of CSC around the globe."
