Accessing Web Based Documents through a Tree Structural Interface
نویسندگان
چکیده
In addition to the intrinsic accessibility difficulties posed by a graphical user interface for blind web users, specific usability penalties arise from the serial nature of blind adapted interfaces (speech, braille). We propose an approach to the design of a browser tailored for blind users which may mitigate some of these difficulties. We suggest this may be achieved through maximal exploitation of structural HTML mark-up to support highly dynamic and interactive user control of content rendering.

Web is the largest available repository of data. In this contribution a solved application of Fuzzy set theory technique to the definition of flexible systems for locating and accessing information on the Web is presented. A purpose of our research is also a fact, that there are various ways to access the big amount of available and mostly unknown information for users. Clustering methods are a...
متن کاملWeb Page Filtering and Re-Authoring for Mobile Users
The Digestor system automatically converts web-based documents designed for desktop viewing into formats appropriate for handheld devices with small display screens, such as Palm-PCs, PDAs, and cellular phones. Digestor employs a heuristic planning algorithm and a set of structural page transformations to produce the ‘best’ looking document for a given display size. Digestor can also be instruc...
متن کاملAutomated Delivery of Web Documents Through a Caching Infrastructure
The dramatic growth of the Internet and of the Web traffic calls for scalable solutions to accessing Web documents. To this purpose, various caching schemes have been proposed and caching has been widely deployed. Since most Web documents change very rarely, the issue of consistency, i.e. how to assure access to the most recent version of a Web document, has received not much attention. However...
