Claim:
A computer-implemented web contents classifying apparatus embodied on a computer apparatus, comprising: a similarity calculating section that calculates levels of similarity between a plurality of web contents by comparing descriptions in said web contents with each other to determine portions having same and similar structures and portions playing same and similar roles; and a classification executing section that classifies said plurality of web contents based on said similarity levels, wherein said classification executing section classifies a plurality of said web contents having a similarity level equal to or lower than a preset threshold into a same group, wherein said classification executing section comprises user interface means for outputting information indicating said similarity levels and accepting an inputted instruction for a group containing predetermined web contents, and classifies said web contents based on said inputted instruction, and wherein said user interface means generates a screen in which symbols representing web contents represent said similarity levels, and wherein a first symbol type represents static contents, and a second differently-shaped symbol type represents action call logic.
