  In recent years, Semantic web has become a topic of active research in
several fields of computer science and has applied in a wide range of domains
such as bioinformatics, life sciences, and knowledge management. The two
fast-developing research areas semantic web and web mining can complement each
other and their different techniques can be used jointly or separately to solve
the issues in both areas. In addition, since shifting from current web to
semantic web mainly depends on the enhancement of knowledge, web mining can
play a key role in facing numerous challenges of this changing. In this paper,
we analyze and classify the application of divers web mining techniques in
different challenges of the semantic web in form of an analytical framework.
