Abstract

The web site design and management of our institute has required more and more specialized competencies over the time. Our aim is to optimise the service offered by the web pages for both internal and external users. Our approach is to develop and apply data mining methods to web data, this enables the information and data retrieval connected to different topics of the web site according to the user interest. The optimisation is also related to usability and accessibility criteria. Of course it is necessary to take into account aims and characteristics of a research institute web site, which are completely different from a commercial one. The log files available on the server have been analysed using of the available data web mining technique. In this way we have obtained precious information on the behaviours of web visitors, even if the structure of the web site allowed us a limited data use at that moment. Nevertheless, it was possible to find important information for the optimisation of the web site and for carrying out new functionalities and services for the visitors.
