Abstract
Internet filtering has particular requirements which traditional access control approaches cannot satisfy. In this paper, we present a multi-strategy filtering model tailored specifically to both digital library and Web environments whose key features are the support for credential and content-based filtering and its full integration with standard Internet rating systems. Moreover, we describe the prototype system implementing our model and developed in the framework of the European project EUFORBIA.
