This paper describes a corpus of webpages, named "Yes, user!".These pages were classified in order to satisfy different types of users' needs.We introduce the assumptions on which the corpus is based, show its classification scheme in detail, and describe the process used to build this corpus.We also present the results of a questionnaire inquiring about the general clarity and understanding of our classification and those proposed by other researchers.We describe both the corpus and a metasearch prototype which was built with those classifiers and make it accessible for other researchers to use.
