Warehousing a Meta-Web: An MLDB Approach
Meta-Web: A structure which summarizes the contents, structure, linkage, and access of the Web and which evolves with the Web
Layer1: the lowest layer of the Meta-Web
- an entry: a Web page summary, including class, time, URL, contents, keywords, popularity, weight, links, etc.
Layer2 and up: summary/classification/clustering in various ways and distributed for various applications
Meta-Web can be warehoused and incrementally updated
Querying and mining can be performed on or assisted by meta-Web (a multi-layer digital library catalogue, yellow page).
