Abstract
As regards session identification method on web mining, an improved one has been put forward. Firstly, considering website structure and its content, page access time threshold will be reached after collecting access time of each page, which should be used to divide sessions into various sets. Then, the session sets will be optimized further, with the help of session reconstruction, namely union and rupture. It has been proved through experiment that the session set which is attained by the above method is more faithful.
