NEAR-Miner: Mining Evolution Associations of Web Site Directories for Efficient Maintenance of Web Archives

Summary: NEAR-Miner mines evolution patterns in web directory hierarchies to guide selective re-downloads for web archives. Discovers negatively correlated ancestor–descendant rules offline to skip subdirectories at crawl time, boosting maintenance efficiency with minor freshness loss.
