<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; color: windowtext;" lang="EN-US">Semantic Web mining is a rapidly advancing field, combining recent advances
in Semantic Web and Web mining. Use of ontologies is important for Semantic Web
technologies and methods, since knowledge produced by ontologies helps define
the structure and scope for Web content mining and can be used to improve the
process and the results of mining. Learning ontologies and/or their concepts is
both challenging and necessary when creating scalable solutions for a wide
range of Semantic Web technologies.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; color: windowtext;" lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; color: windowtext;" lang="EN-US">Recent applications which exploit the interactions between ontologies
and Web mining are being developed for sentiment analysis, opinion mining, and
affective computing; search engine optimization and Web positioning; and Web
intelligence (WI), the interactions between advanced engineering, advanced
information technology (IT), and artificial intelligence (AI). </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b style=""><span lang="EN-US">Objective
of the Book</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" lang="EN-US">This publication should describe state-of-the-art
approaches, innovative theoretical supports, advanced and successful
implementations, as well as the latest empirical research findings in ontologies-driven
Web mining. The book will contain original academic or industrial work in the
form of high quality, scientific papers. The key objective is to provide Web mining
students, practitioners, professionals, professors, and researchers with an
integral vision of the topic, specifically focusing on those areas that explore
new methodologies or examine real case studies—all of them ontologies-based.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b style=""><span lang="EN-US">Target
Audience</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" lang="EN-US">The target audience of this book will be composed of readers
who wish to learn how to apply ontologies-driven Web mining to real world
problems. The purpose is to show users how to go from theory and algorithms to
real applications. </span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" lang="EN-US">The book will present to students, practitioners,
professionals, professors, and researchers basic concepts in data mining and
Web mining. Information technology researchers and practitioners can increase
their knowledge and skills with these new techniques. This book can be used as a
library reference, upper-level course supplement, or for postgraduate courses.</span></p>
