摘要
A basis for automatic discovery of information resources on the World Wide Web is characterized by three underlying equations. With these equations, the information universe on the Web is divided into three associated spaces. This model differs from the hypertext employed by the Web, in that the former supports the notion of automatic resource discovery. A private library, which is able to gather automatically from the Web the information useful to the library owner, is envisaged to illustrate that the basic equations and their derivations can be applied to Web automation, including crawling and classifying.
