Semantic Annotation of Web Pages Using Web Patterns

摘要

This paper introduces a novel method for semantic annotation of web pages. We perform semantic annotation with regard to unwritten and empirically proven agreement between users and web designers using web patterns. This method is based on extraction of patterns, which are characteristic for a particular domain. A pattern provides formalization of the agreement and allows assigning semantics to parts of web pages. We will introduce experiments with this method and show its benefits for querying the web.
