The IETF is a relatively authoritative technical standardization organization in the global Internet. In order to analyze the standardization experts in various professional fields in the IETF and identify the research hotspots of the current Internet standards, a prototype for discovering the communities of the IETF experts is designed. This system analyzes and stores various data sources of the IETF, cleans and merges the data, and uses the optimized and improved Louvain algorithm for the community discovery. Then the system divides the experts into a number of different Internet professional fields, and mines the active experts in various professional fields, and uses the TF-IDF algorithm to mine its research hotspots. So the system can provide accurate and dynamic information for China to develop the Internet international standards.
