Combining Information from Multiple Internet Sources

complexity of the query. As the first URL MySpiders returned “Executive Decision Services”
company webpage. This webpage was returned by Consensus method also as the first URL, Auction
method returned URL pointing to the same webpage on the second position however, this URL was
not exactly the same. Game theory method returns this URL at 4 th position. Second webpage is a
resource which lists selected biography about the “Conflict Transformation and Peacebuilding”. It
is also returned by the Auction method, but on the 9 th position. Third and fourth URL point to the
same webpage, however provide different resources. First is lists articles about “Conflict resolution
and consensus building”, latter is the glossary of terms (points to letter C specifically) related to the
query. Third URL returned by MySpiders is also contained in the Auction and Consensus at the 4 th
and 8 th place respectively. Fifth URL points to the same webpage to which URL was returned on the
1 st places in Auction and Game theory methods however, this is not exactly the same resource.
While the URL returned by Auction and Game theory pointed exactly to page where consensus
decision making was described, the URL returned by MySpiders points to another page which
contains information about “History of mass nonviolent action”.
Summarizing, all of the URLs which were returned by the MySpiders system were present in
at least one of the result sets of tested methods. This could mean that no matter which of those
approaches (Auction, Game theory, Consensus and MySpiders) for answer processing is taken;
some of the links will be present in one of them. In other words each pair of result sets has at least
one URL in common.
