Abstract

This paper presents an approach of two-level categorization of web pages. In contrast to related approaches the model additionally explores and categorizes functionally and thematically demarcated segments of the hypertext types to be categorized. By classifying these segments conclusions can be drawn about the type of the corresponding compound web document.
