Abstract
Maintenance of a repository of summary data about documents associated with document locators, the repository of summary data stored separately from the documents and containing the document locators, when a user requests a document associated with one of the document locators, by requesting the document associated with the document locator; receiving a result based on the request; analyzing the result to determine the validity of the document locator; and requesting an update of the repository based on the validity of the document locator. In a network environment, the document locators are uniform resource locators, or URLs. The repository update may for example take the form of deleting the URL from the repository, or moving it to another location for further examination.
