Abstract:-In day todays life, many people are accessing the information on the web. In collaborative environments it may be possible that
numbers of web users may trying to access the similar information on the web for particular domain. Therefore knowledge sharing in
collaborative environment is major research problem for many research communities. For example, in an organization several departments may
successively need to buy anti-virus software and employees from these departments may have studied online about different anti-virus software
and their features independently. It will be productive to get them connected and share learned knowledge. The domain which is further divided
into sub domain is known as micro-aspects in web surfing data. Mining these micro-aspects is critical as it can provide a detailed description of
the knowledge gained by a person, which is the basis for advisor search. In this project, We investigate knowledge sharing system in
collaborative environments. We propose to analyze members Web surfing data to summarize the knowledge acquired by them. A two-step
framework is proposed for mining knowledge: (1) Web surfing data is clustered into tasks (Domain)by a k-means algorithm 2) Mine micro
aspects (Sub domain)in each task. Finally, search method is applied to the mined results to find proper advisor.

Introduction:
In a collaborative environment, it is regular practice that
members are trying to acquire similar information on the
web in order to gain specific information in one domain. We
present a new method how to identify, how to enable such
knowledge sharing . A two-step methodology is proposed
for mining knowledge: (1) Web surfing data is clustered into
tasks (Domain)by a k-means algorithm 2) Mine micro
aspects (Sub domain)in each task. This method is different
from the traditional expert search in that expert search aims
to find domain experts based on their associated documents
in an enterprise repository, while the goal of this proposed
work is to find proper advisors who are most likely
possessing the desired piece of knowledge based on their
web surfing activities. In order to analyze the knowledge
acquired by web users, new method is proposed to log and
analyze users web surfing data. Users interactions with the
web can be segmented into different tasks, e.g.,
Operating System and shopping. Textual contents of a
task are usually cohesive. This project defines a session as
an aggregation of consecutively browsed web contents of a
user that belong to the same task. Sessions are atomic units
in our analysis. A task can be further decomposed into
micro-aspects(Sub Domain). A micro-aspect could be
roughly defined as a significantly more cohesive subset of
sessions in a task. For example, the task Operating System
might contain Applications of operating System and
Advantages Of Operating System. For example, User2
starts to surf the web and searching for advantages , which
has already been studied by User3. In this case, it might be a
good idea to consult User3, rather than studying by her self.
Such recommendations are provided with this methodology
by analyzing surfing activities automatically.In this
example, not necessarily User3 is an expert in every aspect
of Operating system advantages; however, due to his
significant surfing activities in Operating system
advantages, it is reasonable to assume that he has gained
enough knowledge in this area so that he can help User2. In
these case, resorting to a right person could be far more
efficient than studying by oneself, since people can provide
digested information, insights and live interactions,
compared to the Web.

Most people in collaborative environments would be happy specific problems. However, finding a right person is
to share experiences with and give suggestions to others on challenging due to the variety of information needs.

1)KrisztianBalog and Group have presented paper on
Formal models for expert finding in enterprise Corpora
In this paper auther presented two general strategies to
expert searching given a collection of document. The first
directly models an experts knowledge based on the
documents that they are associated with.Second locates
documents on the queried topic and then finds the associated
expert. [2].
2)KrisztianBalog,LeifAzzopardi ,Maarten de Rijke
published a article on A language modeling framework for
expert finding .
In which they introduce and detail language modeling
approaches that integrate representation ,association and
search of experts using various textual data sources into a
generative probabilistic framework. They introduces two
model in which first model finds out prominent topic in the
document and in the second model they identify important
documents for a given topic and determine who is most
closely associated with these documents. [3].
3)Finding Experts in Community-Based Question-
Answering Services. In this paper there is a network of self-
declared experts to answer other peoples questions.
Wondir, is a free, publicly available, live question and
answerengine that connects people with questions to people
with answers. People using such services are like a
community anyone can ask, anyone can answer, and
everyone can share, since all of the questions and answers
are public and searchable immediately. The key is getting
the right question in front of the right person[4]

In this paper ,expert identification(Who are the experts on
topic X ? ) and expertise selection (What does expert Y
know ?). In expert identification query is passed related to
the topic X and the relevant documents are generated as
output. In the output the relevance of each documentis found
and those documents who have the highest relevance willbe
ranked high.From the highest rank document it will be easy
to recognize expert.

Sharing in Collaborative Environments .2015 :In this
paper auther has proposed a method to find out Advisor
using web surfing and browsing contents.
Web surfing data gives more accurate results than traditional
documentbased method.Gaussian mixture model is used for
clustering session in each task.In order to implement to mine
micro aspects in each task Hidden Markov Model is used.

The Proposed System :
We have developed the System for knowledge sharing in
collaborative environment using k-means algorithm. The
users of this system are users those are searching
information over Web. Input for this system is web surfing
data in text format, which is collected using
BrowsingHistoryView software . This system has following
