Retrieving Business Applications using Open Web API’s Web Mining – Executive Dashboard Application Case Study
Journal Title: International Journal of Computer Science and Information Technologies - Year 2010, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
Web mining is new area of research in information technology; so many business applications that utilize data mining and text mining techniques to extract useful business information on the web have emerged from web searching to web mining. It is important for students to acquire knowledge and hands on experience in web mining during their education. In order to effectively utilize the power of web, information technology professional need to have sufficient knowledge and experience in various web technologies and applications. Recently many large companies such as Google, Microsoft, Amazon, e-Bay have opened access to their services and data through Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). In education, these APIs provide an ideal playground for students to acquire a valuable experience in leveraging the APIs to build interesting web mining applications. With the advent of the World Wide Web, many business applications that utilize data and text techniques to extract useful business information on the Web have evolved from Web searching. This paper reports on an experience using open Web Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) that have been made available by major Internet companies (e.g., Google, Amazon, and eBay) in a project to teach Web applications. The observations of the performance and a survey of the APIs show that we achieve project objectives and acquire valuable experience in leveraging the APIs to build interesting Web applications. We build website called “Executive DashBoard” an e-business idea: provide a platform for users to gather specifically useful information for their special products to sell or buy. DashBoard could provide complete production information, such as retail prices on Amazon, auction prices and seller details on eBay, and hot news of certain items from Google.
