Prototyping Information System to Extract Area Study Information from Web Big Data

Abstract

With the spread of Internet, abundant information related to area studies has been distributed on the Web. Even if the information is limited to text media, the amount of data available on the Web is still enormous. Thus, it is more difficult nowadays to extract research relevant information, and it is impossible for researchers to read and analyze all the extracted data as has been done before. This paper will propose a solution to this drawback through the development of information system that automatically extracts, analyzes and allows the visualization of big data on the Web. This paper explores new directions for area studies based on informatics that is compatible with the Internet age.
