Abstract

A uniform resource identifier (URI) shortening service, such as a URL shortening service, creates the shortened URI along with 'synopsis' data relating to the human understandable content of the resource, such as the text and images in a typical web site. Later, when users use the shortened URI to retrieve the resource, if the synopsis data for the resource has changed too much relative to the synopsis data as created at the earlier time of the URI shortening, then the requesting users are given some type of notification or warning that the content of the resource has changed. This can save the end users from wasting time retrieving and reviewing a resource that is no longer of interest due to the changes in the content.
