A method and system for classifying information available on a computer
network such as Web sites accessible on the Internet. The system receives
a list of network resource locators and submits each locator to a voting
process. The invention includes using single-level or multiple-level
voting to increase the classification accuracy. One or more Web coders
receive a resource locator and determine a classification for that
locator. When the necessary votes have been made, the system classifies
the locator according to the voting rules.
