Appendix D - Sample output from the Perl scripts

Shown below are samples of the output files that are generated by the suite of three Perl scripts in Appendix B of this paper. The samples shown are a very small subset of the total data. They are extracted from the data covering the first week of May, 1995.


A sample of the ".ssn" output file, generated by the "sessions.pl" script

As noted in the comments within the "sessions.pl" script, this output file gives detailed information on sessions which were detected within the raw WWW server data records. Each record within this file is in the same format. The column headings below detail the information contained within each field of the records.

address) of 	timestamp	(sec)    pages	spent on each page

A sample of the ".pgs" output file, generated by the "sessions.pl" script

As noted in the comments within the "sessions.pl" script, this output file gives detailed information on the page references for all pages requested by all readers. Note that the data would include statistics for incorrectly referenced pages as well. The column headings below detail the information contained within each field of the records.

Page name   	Number of times 	Total time	Average time (secs)

A sample of the ".trs" output file, generated by the "transit.pl" script

As noted in the comments within the "transit.pl" script, this output file gives detailed information on the various "inter-page transitions" which occurred during the sessions detected in the raw WWW logfile data. The data is identical to that in the ".trn" output file, except that the ".trs" file is sorted by transition count, while the ".trn" file is sorted by initial page name. "Inter-page transitions" are of particular interest in hypertext publications, where there are frequently multiple choices for the reader's next page, unlike traditional texts, where pages are normally accessed in sequential order. The column headings below detail the information contained within each field of the records. A page name of "<HYPERSPACE>" is used to indicate either the start or end of a session on this server, since the page previously (or subsequently) accessed by the reader would not be recorded in this server's logfile.

Initial page name	Final page    	# of times     	Total time	Shortest	Longest		Average
                 	name           	this transition spent on  	time on 	time on		time on
