3. Database of employment
3.1 Net-search Web of employment
Net-search robots traverse all Web pages/Web sites which are constructed by Network Service Providers and companies.
First, tagged HTML file of one Web site is transferred to our remote computer. At this point, only selective Web page's
HTML files are transferred.
3.2 Analyzing HTML file
The analyzer builds a directed graph based on transferred HTML file. This graph explains structure of connected pages
and connected sections inside one domain. Figure 2 shows one example. Then each page and section are scanned with
breadth first search and are judged whether they are want ads. Judgment is done by including keywords. We choose
some words: "employing graduating students", "salary" and "guidelines" written in Kanji(Chinese Characters)
compounds. If it is a desired page or section, it is appended to the database. Appended data include URL and names of
companies. The structure of this database is shown by Figure 3.
Generally there are two kinds of information: one is for recruitment of those already in the work force, and the other is
for recruiting graduates. Even if this analyzer judges former category of employment, we allow it. Because it is still want
ads.
3.2 Filtering articles on News Group
Sometimes new Web pages of want ads are announced. The articles are posted with job information. The tool of news
filter is developed in order to select articles related to want ads. This tool finds articles and registers the URL and
company name into database.

The videos were converted to QuickTime files and stored them into the database.
