A commonly adopted approach is to classify the retrieved information based on its content. A technique that has been found to be suitable for this purpose is Multiple Classification Ripple-Down Rules (MCRDR). The MCRDR system constructs a classification knowledge base over time using an incremental learning process. This incremental method of acquiring classification knowledge suits the nature of Web information because it is constantly evolving and being updated. However, despite this advantage, the classification knowledge of the MCRDR system is not often utilised for browsing the classified information. This is because it does not directly organise the knowledge in a way that is suitable for browsing.
