The Plain Web
نویسنده
چکیده
The Web has become a popular starting point for many innovations targeting infrastructure, services, and applications. One of the challenges of today’s vast Web landscape is to monitor ongoing developments, put them into context, and assess their chances of success. One of the main virtues of a more scientific approach towards the Web landscape would be a clear differentiation between approaches which build on top of the infrastructure of the Web, with little embedding into the landscape itself, and those that are intended to blend into the Web, becoming a part of the Web itself. One of the main challenges in this area is to understand and classify new developments, and a better understanding of various dimensions of Web technology design would make it easier to assess the chances of success of any given development. This paper presents a preliminary classification, and presents arguments how those factors influence the chance for success.

In the past few years digital humanists have recognised that the development of tools for the collaborative creation of shareable, reusable and archivable transcriptions of historical documents is being held back by the complexity and lack of interoperability of customisable XML encoding standards.

متن کاملA Lightweight Architecture for RSS Polling of Arbitrary Web sources
We describe a new Web service architecture designed to make it possible to collect data from traditional plain HTML Web sites, aggregate and serve them in more advanced formats, e.g. as RSS feeds. To locate the relevant data in the plain HTML pages, the architecture requires the insertion of some meta tags in the commented text. Hence, the extra markup remains totally transparent to users and p...
متن کاملIdentification of Duplicate News Stories in Web Pages
Identifying near duplicate documents is a challenge often faced in the field of information discovery. Unfortunately many algorithms that find near duplicate pairs of plain text documents perform poorly when used on web pages, where metadata and other extraneous information make that process much more difficult. If the content of the page (e.g., the body of a news article) can be extracted from...
