Abstract
In this chapter we develop a representation model of web document networks. Based on the notion of uncertain web document structures, the model is defined as a template which grasps nested manifestation levels of hypertext types. Further, we specify the model on the conceptual, formal and physical level and exemplify it by reconstructing competing web document models.
