This article presents WebAnnotator, a new tool for annotating Web pages. WebAnnotator is implemented as a Firefox extension, allowing annotation of both offline and inline pages. The HTML rendering fully preserved and all annotations consist in new HTML spans with specific styles. WebAnnotator provides an easy and general-purpose framework and is made available under CeCILL free license (close ...

Current methods of information extraction from HTML documents are mostly based on the discovery of some patterns in the HTML code that are expected to identify a particular information in the document. However, this approach has several common problems that are caused mainly by the great variability of HTML and related technologies and the fact that the HTML constructions have no direct binding...

We report on the embedding of a domain specific language, (X)HTML, into Haskell and demonstrate how this superficial non-context-free language can be represented and rendered to guarantee World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) compliance. Compliance of web content is important for the health of the Internet, accessibility, visibility, and reliable search. While tools exist to verify web content is com...

The research work reported here is concerned with designing and developing a multiplatform dynamic mobile converter that transforms Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) documents into their equivalent Wireless Markup Language (WML) documents. This system is a server side service that analyzes the client request upon reception, renders the response document to a suitable format, and finally transfe...

This paper describes a fast HTML Web page detection approach that saves computation time by limiting the similarity computations between two versions of a Web page to nodes having the same HTML tag type, and by hashing the web page in order to provide direct access to node information. This efficient approach is suitable as a client application and for implementing server applications that coul...

This paper presents a method for categorizing named entities in Wikipedia. In Wikipedia, an anchor text is glossed in a linked HTML text. We formalize named entity categorization as a task of categorizing anchor texts with linked HTML texts which glosses a named entity. Using this representation, we introduce a graph structure in which anchor texts are regarded as nodes. In order to incorporate...

In this paper, we suggest a novel data hiding technique in an Html Web page. Html Tags are case insensitive and hence an alphabet in lowercase and one in uppercase present inside an html tag are interpreted in the same manner by the browser, i.e., change in case in an web page is imperceptible to the browser. We basically exploit this redundancy and use it to embed secret data inside an web pag...

The customizable PHP script Generic HTML Form Processor is intended to assist researchers and students in quickly setting up surveys and experiments that can be administered via the Web. This script relieves researchers from the burdens of writing new CGI scripts and building databases for each Web study. Generic HTML Form Processor processes any syntactically correct HTML forminput and saves i...

Modern agent and mediator systems communicate to a multitude of Web information providers to better satisfy user requests. They use wrappers to extract relevant information from HTML responses and to annotate it with userdefined labels. A number of approaches exploit the methods of machine learning to induce instances of certain wrapper classes, by assuming the tabular structure of HTML respons...

At this time there is still no fast and standard way of presenting mathematics in HTML pages. Various ideas have been tested and the W3C has just released a draft math markup proposal. When combined with freely available fonts containing the required mathematical characters, we can see much potential for the future. For now it seems that there is only one common denominator suitable for quickly...
