The concepts of topical and focused crawling were first introduced by Filippo Menczer [20] [21] and by Soumen Chakrabarti et al. [22] The main problem in focused crawling is that in the context of a Web crawler, we would like to be able to predict the similarity of the text of a given page to the query before actually downloading the page.
In addition, ontologies can be automatically updated in the crawling process. Dong et al. [15] introduced such an ontology-learning-based crawler using support vector machine to update the content of ontological concepts when crawling Web Pages. Crawlers are also focused on page properties other than topics.
