Toward semantic annotation of Web page’s segmentation blocks. (English) Zbl 1224.68212

Summary: The traditional search engines like Google, Yahoo, Altavista, etc. which gained a huge success during the last decade, were initially designed in order to easily locate and retrieve any information available on the Web. At that moment, the computer engineers did not consider the possibility of information being understood by machines. Due to the huge amount of information currently available on the Web, the automatic intelligent retrieval of information becomes a tedious task: the user shall understand, combine, interpret, select and evaluate this information.
In most cases, a Web page contains multiple semantic topics and a natural approach would be not to consider it as an atomic element. It is more natural to reason and operate with the semantic blocks into which a Web page can be decomposed, each block corresponding to a different topic, as the smallest units of information.
