我认为万维网是一条信息食物链(图1)。组成Web的错综复杂的页面和超链接位于链条的最底层。网络爬虫和Alta Vistas的世界是信息食草动物；他们在网页上吃草，并将其作为可搜索的索引。今天，大多数网络用户在信息食物链的最底层附近进行订阅，但向上移动的时机已经成熟。自1991年以来，我们一直在建立信息食肉动物，它们智能地在Unix(Etzion i，Lesh&Segl 1993)、互联网(Etzion i&Weld 1994)和Web(Doorenbos，Etzion i&Weld 1996；Selberg&Etzion i 1995；Shakes，Langheinrich&Etzion i 1996)上捕食草食动物。
I view the World Wide Web as an information food chain (figure 1). The maze of pages and hyperlinks that comprise the Web are at the very bottom of the chain. The WebCrawlers and Alta Vistas of the world are information herbivores; they graze on Web pages and regurgitate them as searchable indices. Today, most Web users feed near the bottom of the information food chain, but the time is ripe to move up. Since 1991, we have been building information carnivores, which intelligently hunt and feast on herbivores in Unix (Etzioni, Lesh, & Segal 1993), on the Internet (Etzioni & Weld 1994), and on the Web (Doorenbos, Etzioni, & Weld 1996; Selberg & Etzioni 1995; Shakes, Langheinrich, & Etzioni 1996).
