  Deep web - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The deep web (or invisible web or hidden web) is the name given to pages on the World Wide Web that are not part of the surface web that is indexed by common search engines.
The deep web should not be confused with the term dark web or dark internet which refers to machines or network segments not connected to the Internet.
In opposition to the 'surface web' is the 'deep web'.

 The Deep Web   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
In fact, the part of the Web that is not fixed, and is served dynamically "on the fly," is far larger than the fixed documents that many associate with the Web.
The phenomenon of databases on the Web has been talked about for years, before the terms "invisible Web" or "deep Web" were coined.
The concept of the deep Web is becoming more complex as search engines such as Google have found ways to integrate deep Web content into their centralized search function.

 PDQ Library: Deep Web
Deep Web sites store their content in searchable databases that only display results in response to a request - then a Web page is generated on-the-fly to display the results of your request.
Deep Web sites tend to be narrower in focus, but with deeper content than conventional surface sites.
Deep Web content is highly relevant to every information need, market and domain, with most sites containing topic specific databases.

 CompletePlanet - Deep Web FAQ
The Deep Web is content that resides in searchable databases, the results from which can only be discovered by a direct query.
But BrightPlanet’s Deep Web white paper is the first to comprehensively define, quantify and characterize this entirely different category of Web content.
Total quality content of the Deep Web is at least 1,000 to 2,000 times greater than that of the surface Web.

 DeepWeb.com - Your source for deep web information
Also known as the 'invisible web', the 'deep web' is a vast repository of web pages, usually generated by database-driven websites, that are available to web users yet hidden from traditional search engines.
According to a study by Bright Planet, the deep web is estimated to be up to 550 times larger than the 'surface web' accessible through traditional search engines and over 200,000 database-driven websites are affected by the problem.
But the deep web is a bigger problem than that; The quality of information in the deep web is usually very high (compared to the surface web), because the deep web consists of the major, authorotive websites available on the net.

 BrightPlanet® — Deep Web White Paper
Though individual deep Web sites have tremendous diversity in their number of records, ranging from tens or hundreds to hundreds of millions (a mean of 5.43 million records per site but with a median of only 4,950 records), these sites are on average much, much larger than surface sites.
Deep Web sites on average are more highly linked to than surface sites by nearly a factor of two (6,200 links vs. 3,700 links), though the median deep Web site is less so (66 vs. 83 links).
By 2000, original deep Web content is estimated to have exceeded print by a factor of seven and is projected to exceed print content by a factor of sixty three by 2003.

The firm also points out that the deep data is usually of excellent quality, and that most of it is publicly accessible without charge.
BrightPlanet estimates that this so-called “deep Web” could be 500 times larger than the surface Web that most search engines try to cover.
The FAA database is part of the invisible Web, sometimes called the “deep Web”— a vast repository of information hidden in databases that general-purpose search engines don’t reach.

 Optimizing Dynamic Web Sites - Metamend
Making this deep web visible to the search engines is part of the search engine optimization process.
The Deep Web is different from the rest of the Internet, in that most of the Deep Web content is stored in searchable databases that only produce results dynamically in response to a direct request.
Deep Web content is highly focused and relevant.

 Deep Web Data Extraction
Web pages in the Deep Web are dynamically-generated in response to a query through a web site's search form and often contain rich content.
A recent study has estimated the size of the Deep Web to be more than 500 billion pages, whereas the size of the "crawlable" web is only 1% of the Deep Web (i.e., less than 5 billion pages).
In analogy to search engines over the "crawlable" web, we argue that one way to unlock the Deep Web is to employ a fully automated approach to extracting, indexing, and searching the query-related information-rich regions from dynamic web pages.

 LLRX -- Deep Web Research
Searching the World Wide Web Using Your Brain and Bots is a keynote presentation that I have been delivering over the last year, and much of my information comes from the extensive research that I have completed over the years into the “invisible” or what I like to call the “deep” web.
Comparing historical perspectives with current day thinking allows one to appreciate the true “deep web” and how it is changing the way the web is searched and the many new ways to discover, retrieve and extract information from the deep web.
To properly search the Deep Web, one must be armed with the appropriate resources and tools necessary to accomplish the mission to search, retrieve and extract information from areas on the web that have never been searched before or areas that search engines cannot actively extract from.

 The Deep Web   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
It has been estimated that content on the deep Web may be 500 times larger than the content provided by search engines.
This aspect of the Web is sometimes (though unfortunately) referred to as the "invisible Web" because database content is "invisible" to search engine spiders.
Another term used for this phenomenon is "deep Web," a better term since database content is visible with the appropriate technology.

 Searching the Deep Web: Directed Query Engine Applications at the Department of Energy
Both qualitative and quantitative in difference, deep web content is estimated at 500 times that of the surface web, yet has remained mostly untapped due to the limitations of traditional search engines [1].
Although the phrase "deep web" was not yet in the lexicon, it was immediately evident that common web search engines would not be capable of searching the rich full text of collections like the Information Bridge.
As the deep web continues to grow deeper, the importance of Directed Query Engine tools increases proportionately and the Distributed Explorer application is well positioned as the first generation architecture for the PSII.

 The "Deep web"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
What they cannot see is often called the "Invisible" or "Deep" Web.
Information held on "invisible" web sites tends to be of a much higher quality - more reliable, more up-to-date, more flexible, and in more detail.
Instead of directly seeking the information, when searching the "Deep Web" you must first search for sites likely to contain the information you require - in the same way that you would search for information in a traditional library by first identifying where in the library books on that subject might be held.

Although it is designed as a marketing tool for a program "for existing Web portals that need to provide targeted, comprehensive information to their site visitors," its insight into the structure of the Web makes it worthwhile reading for all those involved in e-publishing.
Finally, the estimates for the size of the deep Web include neither specialized search engine sources -- which may be partially "hidden" to the major traditional search engines -- nor the contents of major search engines themselves.
Also, the absolute number of results shows that deep Web sites tend to return efensible conclusion that quality is many times greater for the deep Web than for the surface Web.
