Objectives
Mining, measurement and metrology on the Web involve the derivation of useful information of one form or another from the WWW. Data mining extracts implicit knowledge, measurement evaluates the effectiveness of information presentation on websites and other online data stores, and metrology gathers various forms of statistical figures and relations. Although the approaches are different, each of them attempts to make sense of the heterogeneity and diversity of information on the Web which has been predicted to hold the bulk of human knowledge in future (Asilomar Report on Database Research).

This workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners in the Web, knowledge discovery and data mining, performance evaluation, measurement science, statistics communities to assess current methodologies and explore new ideas. It will be organized around invited talks and paper presentations and discussions on the following (but not limited) topics:

• Knowledge discovery on the Web
• Web data collection and analysis
• Web data management
• Data mining for Web applications
• Data mining for electronic commerce
• Web measurement techniques
• Scalability for Web mining methods
• Website evaluation techniques
• Web content representation
• Web-based visualization
• Search engines
• Web user pattern analysis
