“…Within the scope of the ABBA project in which the author participate, multiaxial navigation model (MANM) along with the methodology of navigation were developed to make web pages more accessible to a blind user [7], [2]. In this research, the MANM is used for making extracted information (concepts in the LM) accessible.…”

Abstract. This research is dedicated to enhancing the efficiency of web information extraction and web accessibility. The motivation behind the research, its aim and objectives are presented, and the performed work on developing web page model for information extraction is described. We also present work on making extracted information accessible to blind users, providing them with the means to navigate and access required information quickly. We also present our ongoing research on creating efficient methods and approaches for information extraction from the proposed model. There are two main approaches considered: 1) development of the library which provides required functionality to the programmer; 2) development of declarative Datalog-like language for information extraction.

“…This model allows us to serialize documents in different ways, considering a variety of constraints such as a set of predefined object types that can appear on the web page, the maximal quantity of elements for serialization, etc. This model, along with the navigation methodology, has been described in one of our previous works [10] from an accessibility point of view.…”

On today's Web, designers take huge efforts to create visually rich websites that boast a magnitude of interactive elements. Contrarily, most web information extraction (WIE) algorithms are still based on attributed tree methods which struggle to deal with this complexity. In this paper, we introduce a versatile model to represent web documents. The model is based on gestalt theory principles-trying to capture the most important aspects in a formally exact way. It (i) represents and unifies access to visual layout, content and functional aspects; (ii) is implemented with semantic web techniques that can be leveraged for i.e. automatic reasoning. Considering the visual appearance of a web page, we view it as a collection of gestalt figures-based on gestalt primitives-each representing a specific design pattern, be it navigation menus or news articles. Based on this model, we introduce our WIE methodology, a re-engineering process involving design patterns, statistical distributions and text content properties. The complete framework consists of the UOM model, which formalizes the mentioned components, and the MANM layer that hints on structure and serialization, providing document re-packaging foundations. Finally, we discuss how we have applied and evaluated our model in the area of web accessibility.

“…The resulting system is intended to be applied for web automation, web accessibility [2,8] and content re-packaging [11], as we use it to identify the required web page's elements on unseen web pages having a few examples of such elements. By automatically identifying the necessary objects, we can use and manipulate them to perform certain tasks on websites (web automation), and we can re-arrange content for consumption in other media (content re-packaging, e.g.…”

In this paper, we address automatic identification of common functional structures on web pages, a fundamental problem for web automation applications and graphical user interface testing. In contrast to other approaches, we aim to identify relevant patterns without relying on the source code of a web page or keywords, utilizing mostly geometrical and visually perceptible properties. We achieve this by transforming pages into an independent geometrical representation, on top of which we extract a set of features that allows us to employ traditional machine learning techniques for the identification task. We evaluate this approach by analyzing three typical scenarios, reviewing the obtained information retrieval key metrics and estimating the relevance of the chosen features. Our initial results demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed approach.
