To address this issue, we adopted a web mining and web community analysis based approach, where web community is defined as a set of closely related Web-based documents/objects. Based on the analysis of Web document contents, hyperlinks and/or user access logs, we have developed various approaches or algorithms to construct and analyze Web communities, and then to make recommendations / personalization. The first part of this talk will discuss web community analysis and construction. The second part of the talk will introduce some e-research projects related to e-health, e-Water and e-Law/legal information management, and discuss the experience on these cross domain research collaborations.
