The purpose of this paper is to introduce the API-based webometrics tool created for the Korean search engine Naver

This non-commercial software is designed to collect large amounts of data automatically and can easily distinguish between different types of information on the web, which was impossible before.

Rationale for the Naver

• “Republic of Naver” (Kim & Sohn, 2007)

• CEO Google, 30 May 2007)• “Korea is a great laboratory of the digital age.”

(Eric Schmidt,

• “Korea’s Naver is now the world’s 5th search service provider, behind Google, Yahoo, Baidu and Microsoft.” (The AP, 9 Oct 2007)

(Image Source: Newsweek, 5 Nov 2007)

Rationale for the Naver

• “Google left behind as Koreans Naver-gate the internet” (Financial Times, 2 Jan 2008)

• “IN SOUTH KOREA People who want to looksomething up on the internet don’t “Google it”. Instead they “ask Naver”. (Economist, 30 Feb 2009)

• Yeon-Ok Lee and Park. H. W., (2008). "The Importance of Search Engines in Digital News Consumption A Comparative Study Between South Korea and the UK". refereed paper presented at the Workshop “Gatekeepers in a Digital Asian-European Media Landscape: The rising structural power of Internet search engines”(2008).

Output file

When you tick it to collect only hit number, it shows the number of web pages containing search query

Pilot comparison between API and Manual Webpage search

Comparison was done using randomly selected Korean politicians as of 12 Aug 2009

• There are always differences between the

API’s results and the normal search results, but these are miniscule differences in comparison with the APIs of Google, Yahoo and Bing

Pilot comparison between API’s and Manual

Output file

When you tick it to parse the title, URL, and description of theresults (except for images which doesn’t have) the number of web pages containing search query

Issues in multiple hits

The multiple hits reflect the numbers displayed in pages of the Naver. It’s not program error. The Webonaver show actual different numbers of the results from the Naver. The last hits show actual results Webonaver can extract. It’s not the only case of the Naver, but also other search engines such as yahoo display different results as an each webpage.

Issues in multiple hits example

Output file

The Naver API doesn't provide the real URL. Rather it supplies a 'Naver API’. But, user can visit an actual site when they put the api-based URL to the window browser of the Naver.

There are programming and time issues, but there are also issues regarding how service provider responds.

Naver is more protective of handing out API keys, in comparison with yahoo or Bing which provide Open APIs.

It is important that services are not abused.

Ethical issues

Korean National Assembly Members’ web presence

• Web presence of Korean 18th congressman between 27th August and 24th September is automatically collected using WeboNaver at an interval of a week.

• 20 members’ web presence including blog, scholar, news and web documents is visualized.

• web presence of the term H1N1 is examined using Webonaver. We tested the usability and reliability of this tool.

Queres: 신종플루 (A virus subtype H1N1) 신종 인플루엔자 (Influenza A virus subtype H1N1) 신종인플루엔자 (Influenza A virus subtype H1N1)

• Users can get same results from certain words containing space character and the one without space using WeboNaver.

• But, it can not assume similar words as same. Users should consider which specific data they want to extract before using this tool.

WCUWEBOMETRICSINSTITUTEINVESTIGATING INTERNET-BASED POLITICSS WITH E-RESEARCH TOOLS Web presence of the term H1N1

• API-based search tool such as WeboNaver enables researchers to capture massive web data automatically and systemically.

• This software can help researchers improve efficiency of data analysis within a specified timeframe.

• Web data gathered using this tool can also be visualized to describe online trend.
