For each potential content type, there are one or more tests having test results that enable quantitative evaluation of the contents of the subject Web page. A respective probability of each potential content type being detected in some contents of the subject Web page is determined. A Bayesian network combines the test results to provide indications of the types of contents detected on the subject Web page. A confidence level per detected content type is also provided. A database stores the determined probabilities and confidence levels, and thus provides a cross reference between Web pages and respective content types of contents found on the Web pages.
