Link analysis based on webpage co-occurrence mining - a case study on a notorious gang leader in Taiwan

The rapid development and integration of computer and communication technology have made the Internet one of the major media for communication. Nowadays, the Internet and world-wide-web (WWW) are used in every facet of modern society. This research proposes to develop a link analysis method based on Web page co-occurrence mining. The Google Internet search engine is used to gather Web pages relevant to a certain search subject. The proper nouns on each relevant page are then extracted using the Chinese Word Segmentation System, developed by Academia Sinica, Taiwan. The co-occurrence data of proper nouns is then analyzed and used for constructing link charts for visualization and further analysis.
