This paper describes a method to acquire hyponyms for given hypernyms from HTML documents on the WWW. We assume that a heading (or explanation) of an itemization (or listing) in an HTML document is likely to contain a hypernym of the items in the itemization, and we try to acquire hyponymy relations based on this assumption. Our method is obtained by extending Shinzato’s method (Shinzato and To...

With the increasing availability of Web-enabled mobile devices, we are facing the problem to effectively adapt Web content for those devices. For adaptation, Web page structures require rearrangement, i.e., transcoding, to better fit on small displays when layout-specific HTML structures like tables and frames are used. In this article, we present a Fuzzy rule-based language, i.e., Fuzzy-RDL/TT...

Both L A T E X and HTML are languages that can express the structure of a document, and similarities between these two systems are shown. A detailed study is made of the LaTeX2HTML program, written by Nikos Drakos, that is today the most complete utility for translating L A T E X code into HTML, providing a quasi-automatic translation for most elements. A discussion of a few other tools for tra...

Nobody in their right mind writes in raw troff or TEX. Instead, a higher level of control is attained through the use of troff ms (or mm) macros, or LTEX, respectively. In the same way, HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is crude and cumbersome. Work on HTML macros (Peel, 1996) by the author has already demonstrated their value in creating complex web texts for publication on the World-Wide Web. ...

In this paper, we introduce the design and implementation of a new efficient HTML filter that can optimize the amount of data transmitted in a wireless environment. This can be accomplished by creating hierarchical WML Decks from existing HTML pages and by performing the Web access on demand on a per-WML-Deck basis. The intelligent and automatic creation of structured WML decks also allows the ...
