Abstract. We describe a web application, GlossExtractor, that receives in input the output of a terminology extraction web application, TermExtractor, or a user-provided terminology, and then searches several repositories (on-line glossaries, web documents, user-specified web pages) for sentences

deployed Web architecture in order to elicit mismatches between the existing protocols and the applications they are intended to support.

The rapid growth of the World-Wide Web poses unprecedented scaling challenges for general-purpose crawlers and search engines. In this paper we describe a new hypertext resource discovery system called a Focused Crawler. The goal of a focused crawler is to selectively seek out pages
