项目摘要

Web mining is one of the most important research issues in modern information technology. Among Web mining techniques, the Web structure mining is essential to find Web communities. A variety of mining algorithms and tools have been developed for finding Web communities. In this research, we paid attention to the HITS-based Web structure mining tool "Companion", which was able to provide diachronic as well as synchronic analysis of Web communities. The capability of diachronic analysis was essential, particularly when a mining tool was applied to investigate a Web community-like the gender-related community-that changes shape dramatically over time according to socio-cultural and political changes. In this research we first observed how changes in the real world communities, i.e. organizations their members, could be reflected on the Web as changes in Web communities. Second, we analyzed gender-related Web communities to discover new trends or movements that were hard to identify witho … More ut a mining tool capable of diachronic analysis. Last, we investigated a case that calls for the deciphering capability of miners. Based on the above results, we constructed a "portal site for gender studies" in the Institute for Gender Studies of Ochanomizu University.By analyzing the Web communities constructed around the keyword "gender" on the Web, we have attempted to gain new conceptions of societal gender phenomena, available for observation only on the Web. Using Companion- as a Web mining tool, the research examines the development of genderrelated communities extracted through the search term "ender." This method enabled us to examine the gender communities subjectively as well as objectively, and in fact, to perceive a heretofore unrealized phenomenon. Plus, since the developmental process of the Web communities was examined thoroughly by gender specialists, the present analysis provided a positive example in terms of the meaningful nature of its findings. In other words, we were able to verify that the texturized displays, which seem nonsense at first glance, become a vital and challenging space to be deciphered (=analyzed) through the eyes of specialists of a particular field. The research concretely demonstrates the effectiveness and impact of collaborating with researchers of specific fields who are familiar with the reality of the contents in facilitating the development of appropriate Web mining tools. This kind of dialog with researchers can only make the analysis tool more sophisticated. If the functions of the mining tools improve, there is certainly the possibility of finding even more interesting types of results from their analyses. Simultaneously, we have cautioned that if particular tendencies or characteristics of the analysis tool are not seriously considered, the examination research may be flawed. Reflection upon the "analysis tool" itself is always necessary for such examinations. Less

Web挖掘是现代信息技术中最重要的研究课题之一。在Web挖掘技术中，Web结构挖掘是发现Web社区的关键。已经开发了各种挖掘算法和工具来发现Web社区。在本研究中，我们关注基于HITS的Web结构挖掘工具“Companion”，该工具能够提供Web社区的历时和共时分析。历时分析能力至关重要，特别是在应用挖掘工具调查网络社区--如与性别相关的社区--时，该社区随着时间的推移根据社会文化和政治变化而发生巨大变化。在这项研究中，我们首先观察到现实世界社区中的变化，即组织及其成员，如何在网络上反映为网络社区中的变化。其次，我们分析了与性别相关的网络社区，以发现…难以识别的新趋势或新动向更不是一个能够进行历时分析的挖掘工具。最后，我们调查了一个要求矿工破译能力的案件。基于上述研究结果，我们在Ochonomizu大学性别研究所建立了一个“性别研究门户网站”，通过对网络上以“性别”为关键词构建的网络社区的分析，我们试图对社会性别现象有一个新的概念，只有在网络上才能观察到。使用Companion-作为一种Web挖掘工具，该研究检查了通过搜索词“Ender”提取的与性别相关的社区的发展。这种方法使我们能够对性别群体进行主观和客观的审视，事实上，我们能够感知到一个迄今尚未实现的现象。此外，由于性别问题专家对网络社区的发展过程进行了彻底的审查，因此本分析提供了一个积极的例子，说明其调查结果的意义。换句话说，我们能够证实，乍一看似乎是无稽之谈的纹理显示，成为了一个重要的、具有挑战性的空间，需要通过特定领域的专家来解读(=分析)。这项研究具体展示了与熟悉内容实际情况的特定领域的研究人员合作在促进适当的Web挖掘工具开发方面的有效性和影响。这种与研究人员的对话只会让分析工具变得更加复杂。如果挖掘工具的功能得到改进，肯定有可能从它们的分析中找到更有趣的结果类型。同时，我们告诫说，如果没有认真考虑分析工具的特定倾向或特点，考试研究可能会有缺陷。对“分析工具”本身的反思对于这样的检查总是必要的。较少
