Abstract
A vast amount of temporal information is provided on the World Wide Web (WWW). It is extremely difficult for a webmaster to maintain this information without inconsistencies. The business and competitive aspects of maintaining temporal integrity are discussed. We present a concept for supporting the maintenance of WWW pages by a Java agent which tries to identify temporal information.
