Abstract

A server system on a network such as the World Wide Web aggregates and stores information about the content of one or more Web pages served by a server on a network. A server process receives one or more requests for one or more Web pages from one or more requesters connected to the network. Upon receiving the request, the server produces a requested Web page and serves the Web page to the requester. The Web pages have with one or more content elements in addition to one or more metadata entries. One or more of the metadata entries are associated with the content elements of the respective Web page produced. The system also creates and maintains a log having a plurality of records. Each record has one or more requester fields and one or more metadata fields. A logger process stores the metadata entries contained in each of the Web pages in one or more of the metadata fields, and stores a requester identification, associated with the requester, in the requester field of the record associated with the respective Web page. It comprises two parts: the Web page description field and the hyperlink field list.
