Agent-based commercial information dissemination
Information dissemination is slowly moving from printed media to electronic media. However this step cannot be completed if the electronic commercialization of information does not provide the same guarantees against copyright infringement as the printed media. In this paper we present the major requirement for the commercialization of electronic information and describe Hypermedia Electronic Publishing (HEP), an agent-based framework we developed for the commercialization of arbitrary electronic documents.
