found an article, in that says, that content-filtering products must make real-time analysis, and don't use pre-defined URL databases. We always use real-time analysis in our products (first product was offered to customers 6 years ago).
There are many approaches to the real-time analysis. Some of them use statistical approach, some of them use genetic analysis technics. Statistical techniques are simple to implement, but powerfull, while genetic is more precise, but harder to implement.

URL's categorisation

Currently our company is on finish line in process of agreement on inclusion of ISS (Cobion) URL database in our web-filtering product. ISS provide good coverage of Internet, working in many languages. One problem is - we need to integrate ISS's categories into our category list.
There are no standard categories, that will be supported by all URL's categories vendors, so i need to map ISS categories into our categories. And there are many such things.
In near future i'll integrate URL list from another vendor, and also will write mapping between their and our categories.
