Abstract
This article presents a novel crawling and clustering method for extracting and processing cultural data from the web in a fully automated fashion. Our architecture relies upon a focused web crawler to download web documents relevant to culture. The focused crawler is a web crawler that searches and processes only those web pages that are relevant to a particular topic. After downloading the pages, we extract from each document a number of words for each thematic cultural area, filtering the documents with non-cultural content; we then create multidimensional document vectors comprising the most frequent cultural term occurrences. We calculate the dissimilarity between the cultural-related document vectors and for each cultural theme, we use cluster analysis to partition the documents into a number of clusters. Our approach is validated via a proof-of-concept application which analyzes hundreds of web pages spanning different cultural thematic areas.
