Abstract :
Intelligent search applications are the future direction for the World Wide Web and for the Internet in general, but without the ability to gather and understand exact information about multimedia data and documents, making these applications a reality will be difficult. In the future, we may have the technology necessary to read human-oriented multimedia documents. Making the Web less agent-hostile takes great strides toward that goal today
