OntoWM: An Ontology for Unification and Description of Web Mining

This article is concerned with the merging of two active research domains: Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD) and Knowledge Engineering (KE) with a main interest in Ontology. In KDD, we need to unify the domain of web mining. To overcome this drawback, several methods have been proposed in the literature. So, we propose an ontology, named OntoWM which includes definitions of basic Web Mining entities, such as tasks, algorithms... to describe the spots and the basic entities of the web mining in order to share common understanding of this method and explain what is considered as implicit.
