3.5 AO Members

In a similar way, the source text of the URL currently being accessed can also be used to extract AO member information. Each hyperlink to a local file will be identified as a member of the AO that maps the current URL. Possible references include:

Hyperlink references
- e.g. <A HREF = ``FILE''>...</A>;
Image references
- e.g. <IMG SRC = ``FILE''>...</IMG>;
Embedded references
- e.g. <EMBED SRC = ``FILE''>.

All these references will create member links identified by the label ``Member Of''. In the running example above, references 1 and 2 from the previous section,

will produce AOs

AO Name http://www.di.uminho.pt/IMI/imi2-ing-interlace.gif
AO Address /IMI/imi2-ing-interlace.gif
AO Type GIF
AO Class HTTPGIF
Domain0 www
Domain1 di
Domain2 uminho

and

AO Name http://www.di.uminho.pt/english-um.html
AO Address /english-um.html
AO Type HTML
AO Class HTTPHTML
Domain0 www
Domain1 di
Domain2 uminho
Domain3 pt

Finally, these two AOs will produce the member links:

which will become part of the conceptualization profile of the current URL. Figure 4 shows the RM's Zoom In graphical functionality [19] operating on URL ``http://www.di.uminho.pt/cnw3.html''.
