ABSTRACT:
A computer system identifies web pages of interest to a client. The system comprises a cataloging function which defines a hierarchy of subject categories, logically arranges a multitude of web pages in the categories and periodically adds web pages to the categories. The system also comprises a profile building function which receives selections of categories from a user, records the selections and responds with an identification of subcategories of each selected category. The user can make further selections from the subcategories. Alternately, the user makes a key word search and then selects data web pages from the results of the search. The profile building function records the categories of the data web pages selected by the user. Next, the user requests a list of recently added web pages of interest to the user. In response, the system identifies recently added web pages from the categories previously selected by the user and from the categories of the data web pages previously selected by the user.
