A computer program product is provided as a network quality control system to
perform
an automatic validation of all the World Wide Web pages. The quality control system
aims at improving the quality of the World Wide Web by promoting widely accepted
uniform standards such as HTML, and further by generating web documents that are
valid and compliant with the standards according to which they are published. The
quality control system actively seeks malformed web pages and corrects them in
conformity with their publication standards. The quality control system also automatically
determines the most probable addresses of the persons in charge of maintaining
the non-conformant web documents using a probabilistic approach, notifies these
persons of the non-conformity of their documents, and forwards the corrected web
documents to their attention.
