  This work describes the theory and the implementation of a new software tool,
the "Web Topical Discovery System" (WTDS), which provides an approach to the
automatic discovery and selection of new web pages relevant to specific
analytical needs. We will see how it is possible to specify the research
context with search keywords related to the area of interest and consider the
important problem of removing extraneous data from a web page containing an
article in order to reduce, to a minimum, false positives represented by a
match on a keyword that is showing up on the latest news box of the same page.
The removal of duplicates, the analysis of richness of information contained in
the article and lexical diversity are all taken into consideration in order to
provide the optimum set of recommendations to the end user or system.
