Crowdsourcing Human Annotation on Web Page Structure

A Semantic Web Page Linguistic Annotation Model

Although with the Semantic Web initiative much research on web page semantic annotation has already been done by AI researchers, linguistic text annotation, including the semantic one, was originally developed in Corpus Linguistics and its results have been somehow neglected by AI. The purpose of the research presented in this proposal is to prove that integration of results in both fields is n...

Web Page Retrieval by Structure

1 Web Dynamics , Structure , and Page Quality

This chapter is aimed at the study of quantitative measures of the relation between the dynamics of the Web, its structure, and the quality of Web pages. Quality is studied using different link-based metrics and considering their relationship with the structure of the Web and the last modification time of a page. We show that, as expected, Pagerank is biased against new pages, and we obtain inf...
