Abstract
The World Wide Web (WWW) has become one of the fastest growing applications on the Internet today. More and more information sources have linked online through WWW, but finding information on the WWW is also a great challenge. For most users, the information retrieved is not well organized and the access time is considered high on the WWW currently. Therefore, there is a need to develop a good mechanism to organize and manage the tremendous size and various kinds of information to facilitate the functionality of a search engine for information retrieval on the WWW. In response to such a demand we propose a Markov Model Mediator (MMM) mechanism which employs affinity based data mining techniques to organize and manage the information sources so that the most relevant documents are clustered together to achieve higher recall and precision values for information retrieval on the WWW.
