Nobody questions the power of information dissemination of Internet. Likewise, nobody probably could say precisely neither the quantity of information present on the Net today, nor of what kind it is. However, such volume of information provokes some rejection from many potential users that no longer feel able to discern or find out where is the information of their interest. The fact is that the search engines, whose features are better and better, are based on criteria classifying the information present on the Net and not on the criteria or interests of the users who, in general, have to use rather poor mechanisms. In this paper, we will present one of the new lines of Internet effective use, based on the modeling of the information in general and of the users' profiles. These models are currently under study in the European Commission ESPRIT Project n°P29158 called FLEX, "Flexible Knowledge-Based Information Access and Navigation using Multimodal Imput/Output". We will illustrate some proposals with examples in the Medicine field.
