The Web

Currently, systems dedicated to information retrieval/extraction perform an important role on fetching relevant and qualified information from the World Wide Web (WWW). The Semantic Web can be described as the Web’s future once it introduces a set of new concepts and tools. For instance, ontology is used to insert knowledge into contents of the current WWW to give meaning to such contents. This allows software agents to better understand the Web’s content meaning so that such agents can execute more complex and useful tasks to users. This work introduces an architecture that uses some Semantic Web concepts allied to Regular Expressions (REGEX) in order to develop a system that retrieves/extracts specific domain information from the Web. A prototype, based on such architecture, was developed to find information about offers announced on supermarkets Web sites.

The Telemedicine Information Exchange (TIE) has provided comprehensive telemedicine information on the World Wide Web (Web) since early 1995. It received major funding from the National Library of Medicine in 1997. Among other things, the TIE contains six major databases: literature citations; active telemedicine programmes; a ‘what's new in telemedicine’ column; funding opportunities; forthcoming conferences; and a list of vendors of telemedicine equipment and services. Recent additions include a document delivery service, inaugurated in early 1999. More than 1000 other Web sites link to the TIE, and we have 5000 visitors per month from several countries. Given its relative longevity on the Web, TIE researchers have been in a unique position to observe trends in telemedicine.

The rapid growth of the Internet as an environment for information exchange and the lack of enforceable standards regarding the information it contains has lead to numerous information qual ity problems. A major issue is the inability of Search Engine technology to wade through the vast expanse of questionable content and return "quality" results to a user's query. This paper attempts to address some of the issues involved in determining what quality is, as it pertains to information retrieval on the Internet. The IQIP model is presented as an approach to managing the choice and implementation of quality related algorithms of an Internet crawling Search Engine.
