This paper discusses a new search technology called LexiBot that is capable of searching the vast untapped resources of the Web. The search engine can identify, retrieve, qualify, classify, and organize both "surface" and "deep" content from the Web. "Deep" content is that content that is included in databases, spreadsheets, tables and other non-text, non-HTML sources. Developed by the BrightPlanet team, LexiBot is a direct-access query engine. The author also points out some interesting facts about the "deep" Web including the fact that the deep Web contains nearly 550 billion individual documents compared to the 1 billion on the surface Web.
This is a memorandum to remind heads of executive departments and agencies to establish clear privacy policies for all Web activities and to adhere to them. Clear notice must be given if technologies that track the activites of users over time and across different web sites are used. The presumption should be that these technologies will not be used at Federal web sites nor by contractors when operating web sites on behalf of agencies unless there is a compelling need to gather the data on the site. In addition, appropriate and publicly disclosed privacy safeguards for handling of information derived from this technology must be clearly posted and personal approval obtained from the head of the agency. All Federal web sites and contractors when operating on behalf of agenccies must also comply with the standards set forth in the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998.
