Country Domain Governance: An analysis by Datamining of Country Domains

Along with the expansion of opportunities to use the internet, the system of managing it has become a serious problem. Even from the global perspective, questions concerning internet governance have been raised at various places, starting with the WSIS (World Summit on the Information Society). However, the main discussion has been from the viewpoint of administrators and service providers, placing emphasis on ensuring safety and equal opportunities of use, while the discussion from the user's point of view is limited. This is thought to be due to the acquisition of statistical data which the discussion is based on being largely derived from statistics related to the physical means of communication, and to the difficulty of comprehending all user activity in the internet space. In this paper, in response to the challenge of internet governance, we propose the country domain governance index. This is an index for comprehensive discussion of governance of internet resources from the point of view of both administrators and users by carrying out data mining by region by merging various pieces of Web information obtained from results of observations in the Language Observatory with various statistical data.
