The world wide web has two forms of architecture, that explicitly encoded into web pages, and that implied by web content and look and feel. The latter is exemplified by the concept of a website, a concept that is only loosely defined although users intuitively understand it. Whatever the case the concept of a web site is used with respect to a number of application domains, including website archiving and analysis. In the context of such applications it is beneficial if a website can be automatically identified. This is usually done by identifying a website of interest in terms of its boundary, the so called Website Boundary Detection (WBD) problem. In this paper seven WBD techniques are proposed and compared, four statical techniques where the web data to be used is obtained apriori, and three dynamic techniques where the data to be used is obtained as the process progresses. All seven techniques are presented in detail and evaluated in this paper.
