“…This approach draws on the facilities offered by Web Objects Ambient (WOA), a platform for collaborative web augmentation [5]. It helps final users collect, structure and share information available on the web, and wield it to attach new functionality to the sites and applications they visit.…”

There are activities that on-line customers daily perform, which involve a multi-criteria decision challenge. Choosing a destination for traveling, buying a book to read, or buying a mobile phone are some examples. Customers analyze and compare alternatives considering a set of shared characteristics, and under certain criteria. E-commerce websites frequently present the information of products without special support to compare them by one or many properties. Moreover support for decision making is limited to sorting, filtering, and side-by-side comparison tables. Consequently, customers may have the feeling that the merchants interests influence their choices, which are no longer grounded on the rational arguments they would like to put in practice. Moreover, the alternatives of interest for the customer are frequently scattered across various shops, with no support to collect and compare them in a consistent and customized manner. In this article, we propose empowering users with multi-criteria decision making support on any website, and across different websites. We also present Logikós, a toolbox supporting multi-criteria decision making depending on the presentation layer of any Web page.

“…Rico et al [6] introduced a tool to allow Web developers with no SW skills to create templates capable of handling semantic data. WOA [4] presents an approach for the creation of WA layers by firstly annotating Web contents with semantic tags. Most SW improvements of non-SW applications are based on the semantification of Web pages from social efforts [8,5].…”

Web Augmentation is usually applied to add, remove and change Web sites' functionalities, content, and presentation. Contentbased Web Augmentation is commonly performed by integrating content from an external Web site into the current one. In this article, we explore the use of the Semantic Web as a source of information to be incorporated to any Web site, aiming to simplify the development of Web Augmentation based on Semantic Web data. Our approach allows end-users without any programming skills to build Web Augmentation scripts that takes some information from the current Web page, and produce new related information gathered from the Semantic Web. This article introduces a pipeline process for building SWA and an End-User Development tool called SWAX to create augmentation layers without the need for any programming or SW skills.

“…Programming by demonstration is most popular for data extraction and visualization, where service composition and orchestration play an ancillary role. NaturalMash [52], WOA [28], Margmash [25] and MAIDL [17] illustrate this approach…”

This chapter presents Web Augmentation (WA) technologies as tools and techniques for end-user development. WA technologies differ from other web development technologies as they target at improving existing Web pages and not at creating new Web sites. These improvements can deeply alter the way users use and interact with Web sites. This chapter revisits the concept of WA and provides an overview of the main features that characterize WA technologies. This characterization is used to position and compare the various contributions that have been made in WA. To make things more concrete we provide an illustration of WA technology through a case study using a dedicated tool called WebMakeup. Despite all their advantages, WA technologies present some limitations that might result in challenges on the user side. These aspects are also presented and discussed, highlighting directions for future work in that domain.
