The Ultimate Reverse-Spam

• Autonomous WWW Robots -- no cooperation
  Most (but not all) doing indexing
  Most doing it daily or weekly
• Intranets and content providers have no control over indexing process (how/when/where)
• Cooperation Barriers:
  • no standard interchange protocol
  • no standard meta data formats
  • no standard index extraction mechanisms
  • deployment/adoption
