A Temporal Clustering Method forWeb Archives

Abstract

Web pages are collected and stored in Web archives, and several methods to construct Web archives have been developed. We propose a method to retrieve time series of Web pages from Web archives by using the pages’ temporal characteristics. We present two processes for searching Web archives based on the temporal relation of query keywords. One is a method for determining the relation. The other is a method of inquiring Web pages based on the relation. In this paper, we discuss the two processes and an experimental result of the method.
