Abstract

The World Wide Web has developed into a central source of information, a very important marketplace, a highly noticed presentation platform, and a frequented meeting place, to mention only some. Furthermore, the ever-growing number of users and content creators leads to a rapid evolution and emergence of different Web sites. As a consequence, it is more and more difficult to identify the Web sites providing the information and services of interest.
