Abstract-A semantic-based Web mmmg is mentioned by
many people in order to improve Web service levels and
address the existing Web services which is supported by the
lack of semantic problem. Semantic-based Web data mining is
a combination of the semantic Web and Web mining. Web
mining results help to build the semantic Web. The knowledge
of Semantic Web makes Web mining easier to achieve, but
also can improve the effectiveness of Web mining. This paper
firstly introduces the related knowledge of Semantic Web and
Web mining, and then discusses the semantic-based Web
mining, finally proposes to build a semantic-based
mining model under the framework of the Agent.

I. INTRODUCTION
Following the rapid development and wide application of
the Internet, Web has become an exchange, sharing of
information and effective tool for collaborative work.
People's attention and frequent use of the Web promote the
development of this technology, but also make the Web
information resources on the rapid growth. However, there
are flood of information resources distribute on Web, to
Convenient to bring the people at the same time, also makes
the network very difficult to in-depth application. On the one
hand a person is only concerned about a small information
of Web, and user is not interested in the rest of the

Web content mining is used to extract the text, image, or
other information and knowledge component of the web
content. Which sites sell cars? Which pages are in Chinese?
Which pages introduce the music, or introduce news? Search
engines, intelligent agents, and some recommend use
content mining to help the user in the vast network of space
to find the necessary content. Web content mining has two
strategies: page text mining; process results for search

information contained in Web, because, the desired search
results will be submerged by the traditional search engines
which are based on the keywords; the other, since the
majority of Web data is unstructured, which lead to the
traditional data mining results will be unsatisfactory. In
order to solve these problems, people start to use semantic
information to improve the Internet capacity to provide
services for human. Machine-processable semantics
information can be with the intelligent software products
such as Agent to effectively interact. Web mining based on
Web
semantic is a combination of semantic Web and Web mining,
which can better improve the intelligence level of access to
information.
II. WEB MINING AND SEMANTIC WEB-RELATED
KNOWLEDGE
A. Web mining
[l]
Web mining can be generally defined as : Extract
interested, useful patterns and implicit information from the
WWW resources and behavior.
In general, Web mining can be divided into three
categories: Web content mining, Web structure mining and
Web usage mining.
Figure 1 shows the classification of Web mining:
engine query further to get more accurate and useful
information.
Web structure mining is used to extract the network
topology information, that is, the link between pages of
information. Mine knowledge from the WWW organization
and links. Which pages are linked to other pages? Which
pages point to other page? Which collection of pages

constitutes an independent entity? Can sort the page and
found that an important page.
Web usage mining is used to extract about the customer
how to use the browser and use the page links. It extracts
interested patterns from the access to records of Web. For
example, which pages are the client accesses? How long
spent on each page? What next click on? What are the entry
and exit routes? WWW Each server retains the Web access
log, recording information for the user access and interaction.
Analysis of these data can help understand the user's
behavior, thus improving the structure of the site, or to
provide users with personalized services.
B. Semantic Web
[2 ]
The basic idea of Semantic Web is that embed
machine-readable, on behalf of certain types of knowledge
mark in the Web message. So that the data on the Web is not
only used to display, but also be understood by the machine
so as to enhance the quality of the information services and
explore a variety of new, intelligent information services. If
the knowledge that reflect the link between data and
application are embedded in a variety of different
information sources in a user transparent manner, Web
pages, database, procedures will be able to link up through
the agent and each other collaborate.
According to Berners-Lee's vision, the semantic network
Constituted by seven levels is constituted of a layered
[3]
architecture . As shown in Table 1. The first layer of URI
and Unicode is the basis for the structure of the entire system.
Unicode is responsible for processing resources encoding,
URI is responsible for resource identification, which allows
precise retrieval of information possible. The Second layer
of XML + NS (Namespace) + XML Schema, is responsible
for representing the content and structure of data from the
linguistic to separate the performance format, the data
structure and content of the network information form
through the use of a standard format language. The third
layer of RDF + RDF Schema, which provides a semantic
model used to describe the information on the Web and type.
The fourth layer of ontology vocabulary layer is responsible
for the definition of shared knowledge and describes the
semantic relationships between the various kinds of
information to reveal the semantic between information
itself and information. The fifth layer of logic layer is
responsible for providing axioms and inference principles to
provide the basis for intelligent services. The sixth layer of
Proof and the seventh layer of trust are responsible for
providing authentication and trust mechanisms. Digital
signatures and encryption technology used to detect changes
in the document situation is a mean to enhance Web
security.
This is a hierarchical structure of the enhanced functional.
XML, RDF (S) and the Ontology are its core in the Semantic
Web architecture. The formation of the Semantic Web's
technical support system mark with the three core
technology. They support semantic description for network
information and knowledge, to play a central role in
achieving the semantic-level knowledge sharing and
knowledge reuse.

Semantic Web is known as Web3.0, it is based on
resource description framework RDF to integrate a variety
of applications of XML-syntax, uniform resource identifier
as naming mechanism. Semantic Web is just an extension of
the current Web and is not a new Web. The research focus is
how the information can only be changed from the form that
a computer can read to the form that a computer can
understand and deal with, that is with the semantics, so that
the computer and people can work together.
Web resources (such as Web pages, Web service) for the
use of ontology annotation terms are an
prerequisite for goal to achieve the semantic Web. Ontology
in Tim Berners-Lee proposed the Semantic Web-seven is in
the fourth tier architecture, which aims to capture the
knowledge in related fields, provides a common
field of co-sanctioned vocabulary, and to give a clear
definition between the words and the interrelationship of
words, according to the relationship between the concept to
describe the semantics of the concept. Ontology-based
semantic annotation using ontology defined by experts
support the content creator to add semantic metadata in the
Web page, so content can be understood by people and
machines, as compared with the general public, this is a
marked top-down classification. Semantic Web which can
be seen as a new generation of information infrastructure is a
important new distributed intelligent network platform based on
semantic information processing.

III. WEB MINING BASED ON SEMANTIC N ETWORK
4]
Semantic Mining[ is a series of semantic analysis of
information resources and users' question by advanced
intelligence theory and technology, through mining its deep
semantics, in order to fully and accurately to express
knowledge resources and user needs, and then in various
distributed, heterogeneous databases, data warehouses,
Knowledge Base to search, at last, retrieve information in
intelligent processing to return the most relevant results of
the semantic retrieval mechanism.
Semantic-based Web data mining combine Semantic that
is extracted from existing Web data extraction or existing
Semantic structures with Web Mining. Web mining results
help to build the semantic Web, the Semantic Web mining
knowledge makes it easier to achieve and improves the
effectiveness of Web mining. Corresponds to the Web
mining, semantic-based Web Mining we can be divided into
semantic Web content mining, Semantic Web structure
mining and semantic Web usage mining categories.
Semantic Web content and structure mining. In the
Semantic Web, content and structure of the tangled,
which makes content mining and structure mining
differences almost vanished, so we put them here
collectively referred to as the semantic Web content
and structure mining. Thus, the traditional relevant
technical for relational data mining can easily be
transferred to the Semantic Web content and
Figure 2 Agent under the framework of Semantic Web Mining Model
The first step: In the beginning, you need to build an
initial ontology. To build an initial ontology first need to
obtain the relevant set of atomic concepts, we use clustering
algorithm to obtain the document from the Web; and then
get this concept hierarchy by a variety of different ways.
One way is to use the knowledge acquisition methods to
generate, such as ONTEX (ontology Exploration) which
input a group of concept sets depending on knowledge
acquisition techniques of properties detect, and then output
the level of above concept collection. Another way also can
use many of the ontology models that the current ontology
researchers have developed. These include both general
knowledge ontology model description and a specific
description of knowledge in the field. Ontology model
combine knowledge of experts in the field
structure mining.
Semantic Web usage mining. In the Semantic Web
environment, we can give a clear semantics to user
behavior the body of knowledge based on the log
file of semantic ontology knowledge. On this basis,
excavation shown to be effective in establishing the
users gathering in the same interest, which provides
users with ontology-based personalized view to
improve the Web usage mining results.
Agent is an intelligent software entity, which is able to
complete spontaneously a specific function and can be
related to Agent communications under certain
circumstances. Agent is usually autonomous, social, active
and passive response to their own adaptability and mobility.
Intelligent Agent can complete intelligent reasoning tasks
according to the semantic information on Web, and can
improve the accuracy of information retrieval. So now
Agent technology has been widely used in building an
intelligent system.
Semantic Web Mining Model under the framework of
Agent
According to the above-mentioned knowledge, we can
create a Semantic Web Mining Model under the framework
of Agent to better understand the combination of the
semantic network and Web mining techniques. This model
creates the whole process from five steps to complete.
Semantic Web Mining Model under the framework of
Agent is shown in Figure 2,
Ontology Le ming
conceptual level (initial ontology). The ontology level will
be stored in ontology library system to provide support for
the next phase of work.
The second step: resource acquisition module collects
task-related data sets according to received tasks instructions
by ontology Agent from a Web mining. Usually this step is
essential. Because the data set on Web is very scattered,
dynamic and often inconsistent data, whether the data
collection is good or bad will have a direct impact on the
results of Web mining.
The third step: RDF clustering module achieves ontology
clustering learning to the data that resource acquisition
modules has collected. The resource nodes of closest
characteristics will be got together in the RDF data
builds a repository.

The fourth step: Data stored in the RDF data repository

are mined by Semantic Web Mining module and the mining
results are provided to ontology Agent.
The fifth step: Ontology Agent completes semantic
filtering and clustering of processing for results obtained by
Semantic Web Mining module, to improve the relevance of
return information; and also ontology learning can take
advantage of the semantic Web mining modules to carry out
the expansion and modification of ontology knowledge.

IV. SUMMARY

In this paper, first introduces briefly Web mining and

Semantic Web-related knowledge, then describes the
integration of the two-Web mining based on semantic, and
proposes an Semantic Web mining model under the
framework of Agent, which gives the build process and brief
description of each module functions. Due to the immaturity
of the relevant technologies, as well as various aspects of the
limitations, this paper is not a concrete realization of the
model, which will in future work remains to be further
study.
