Web site maintenance with software-engineering tools

Internet information providers need to continually analyse and update their offerings in order to survive in today´s marketplace. As Web sites and their information content grow larger, this becomes a more and more difficult task. Software engineers have had to deal with the problem of understanding and maintaining complex and interconnected documents (in the form of program source code) for a long time, and a number of tools exist to support them in this task. The paper describes commonalities in the maintenance of software systems and Web sites and presents a case study in the application of a software reengineering tool for Web site analysis.
