Description
Summary:The advancement in computing enables anyone to become information producer, resulting in rapidly growing information in the Internet. One concern that arises from this phenomenon is the easy access to offensive, vulgar and/or obscene page by anyone with access to the Internet. The solution for this concern is filtering software. Current existing filtering software required human intervention in determining the harmfulness of page content. The fear of this trend brings out the desire to protect a community, especially children from the harmful content available. This paper represents a prototype of application that performs the task of identifying and determining the harmfulness content of a document without human intervention. The prototype is designed to extract the content of the document, stem the words into its root, and compare each word to the list of harmful words.
