===8<==============Original message text===============

For a couple of years now part of the work of the SEED research group 
(http://www.scit.wlv.ac.uk/seed/) at the University of Wolverhampton has been 
the automatic classification of web pages. The initial work revolved around the 
generation of a set of Dewey Decimal Classifications for each page. This has 
recently been extended to the generation of Dublin Core metadata expressed in 
RDF. This work was described in a paper presented at WWW8 
http://www.scit.wlv.ac.uk/~ex1253/rdf_paper/.

We have now made the classifier publicly accessible at 
http://scitsd.wlv.ac.uk:8080/metadata.html Please feel free to use it and 
address any criticisms you have of it to us after reading Charlotte Jenkin's 
caveat page at http://www.scit.wlv.ac.uk/~ex1253/excuses.html
