Roy T. Fielding,
Maintaining Distributed Hypertext Infostructures:
Welcome to MOMspider's Web.
I am indebted to Mark Ackerman for his suggestion that finding a way to automate or assist hypertext maintenance would be an excellent project for the World-Wide Web. I would also like to thank Tim Berners-Lee, Dave Raggett, and Lou Montulli for their comments on the original MOMspider proposal, Martijn Koster for taking the time and effort to set up the robot exclusion proposal, and James "Eric" Tilton for coining the word infostructure (and telling us all about it). Finally, I thank Richard W. Selby and Richard N. Taylor for their support of this work as part of the Arcadia Project.
