چکیده

Visually impaired users are hindered in their efforts to access the largest repository of electronic information in the world – the World Wide Web (Web). The web is visually-centric with regard to presentation and information order / layout, this can (and does) hinder users who need presentation-agnostic access to information. Transcoding can help to make information more accessible via a restructuring of pages. We describe an approach based on annotation of web pages, encoding semantic information that can then be used by tools in order to manipulate and present web pages in a form that provides easier access to content. Annotations are made directly to style sheet information, allowing the annotation of large numbers of similar pages with little effort.

Benchmarking ontology-based annotation tools for the Semantic Web

This paper discusses and explores the main issues for evaluating ontology-based annotation tools, a key component in text mining applications for the Semantic Web. Semantic annotation and ontologybased information extraction technologies form the cornerstone of such applications. There has been a great deal of work in the last decade on evaluating traditional information extraction (IE) systems...

Benchmarking Textual Annotation Tools for the Semantic Web

This paper investigates the state of the art in automatic textual annotation tools, and examines the extent to which they are ready for use in the real world. We define some benchmarking criteria for measuring the usability of annotation tools, and examine those factors which are particularly important for a real user to be able to determine which is the most suitable tool for their use. We dis...
