Relating content through web usage

ABSTRACT

Relating content is important in any document base, for example to automatically create hyperlinks. Classical techniques to relate Web content include text mining and link analysis. However, a more powerful source for semantically connecting two Web pages is user behavior. In this short summary we categorize existing approaches that use what people do in the Web to relate content and we discuss the issues and the research problems associated with this idea.
