ABSTRACT
The World-Wide Web allows users to quickly and easily publish information in the form of web pages, and to link their pages to other pages already on the web. This model of web publishing has many advantages, among them are its simplicity and e±ciency. It also has the disadvantage, particularly in areas where knowledge is incomplete and expanding, that its method of organization does not -t well with the way knowledge expands.
In this paper, we look at a radically di®erent model of web publishing in which the author of a web page is not the user who makes links from the web page to other web pages. Instead, the page author expresses an interest in the kind of content the page should link to and as new content comes online that matches that interest, links are inserted automatically into the original page to point to the new content. This points to the possibility, in this reverse web, that a hyperlink from a particular location in a web page can lead to multiple destinations, something we call a multi-valued hyperlink.
