Abstract:
The paper is focused on authoritative users of some web discussion searching and their authority measure estimation. The paper describes design of a method for authority calculation for all discussants of some selected web discussion forum. The designed method can be used in the process of web authority mining. This method involves both the conversational content mining and the conversational structure mining. The resulting implementation can be used for simulation of a dynamic change of the authority measure of social web users. The implementation of the presented method can be used by some firm or other organization for searching authorities (experts) in a special field, in the case, when the organization needs some experts – employees from this field and so such implementation can be used for preselecting on some position in the organization.
