Web Warehousing: An algebra for the World Wide Web
While conventional keyword indexes maintained by web search engines such as Yahoo, Lycos, and World Wide Web Worm work well for most simple keyword searches, they are inadequate when more complex and structured queries involving the underlying hypertext structure of the World Wide Web are desired.
