Editor, What is web mining
I would define web mining as finding interesting and useful patterns in web data. You can use perl, sql queries or advanced data mining tools, but the important question is whether you are finding some patterns, beyond simple analysis like number of hits per day. Of course, this definition is subjective - comments welcome.

Kingsley Tagbo, Web Log Analysis
Does all forms of web log analysis qualify as web mining. Many web log analysis projects are designed as plain sql queries on web log analysis data.

Which web log analysis projects qualify as web mining projects and which do not?
