Abstract

The effective representation and manipulation of web data is currently an active area of research in databases. In a web warehouse, web information coupling provides the means to derive useful information from the WWW. Web information is materialized in the form of web tuples and stored in web tables. In this paper, we discuss web data visualization operators such as web nest, web coalesce web pack and web sort to provide users with the flexibility to view sets of web documents in perspectives which may be more meaningful.
