Electronic catalogues are here to stay; however, static WWW documents
will not aid the user in finding what she is looking for. We argue for
the use of natural language generation techniques to dynamically prod
uce hypertext documents on the WWW, resulting in what we call DYNAMIC
HYPERTEXT. A dynamic hypertext document can be tailored mon precisely
to a particular user's needs and background, thus helping the user to
search more effectively. We describe the automatic generation of WWW d
ocuments and illustrate with two implemented systems. (C) 1998 Publish
