This calls for tools for efficiently analyzing and managing web data—and for efficiently managing web information from the database perspective. This comprehensive resource presents a data model called WHOM (WareHouse Object Model) to represent HTML and XML documents in the warehouse. The book defines a set of web-algebraic operators for building new web tables by extracting relevant data from the Web, as well as generating new tables from existing ones. Its "web-warehouse approach" incorporates modern and effective shared web data-management concepts, methods, and models. Features & Benefits: *Presents a simple and generic data model for representing metadata, structure, and content of Web documents and hyperlinks *Addresses schema-related issues for both HTML and XML data, with their associated challenges of irregularity and heterogeneity *Describes a web algebra for manipulating warehoused data *Utilizes numerous examples to illustrate various concepts of web data management and to simplify all key issues for readers *Highlights change management and knowledge discovery, two important applications of a web warehouse With its accessible style and emphasis on practicality, the book delivers an excellent survey of all current principles for structured, web-based data management technologies. Database management systems developers, enterprise website developers, and applied R&D researchers will find the work an essential companion for new concepts, development strategies, and application models.
