Exploring Different Aspects of Social Network Analysis Using Web Mining Techniques

A social network is a set of people connected by a set of social relations. Thanks to the availability of increasing real-world social network data, social networks are receiving increasing attention by scientific community. The purpose of this paper is to explore multiple aspects of Social network Analysis using data mining techniques to the World Wide Web, referred to as Web mining. In particular we will inquire whether there is any other way of matrix representation of social networks other than Adjacency Matrix. Light will be shed on properties of social networks and there will also be a guided tourof different techniques of web mining. The main goal is to provide a roadmap for researchers who are trying to use data mining techniques for discovering different trends in social network data.
