“…It is easily understood that the large amount of information in the web and its daily update makes human annotation quite difficult even for a large network of annotators. Approaches to semiautomatic annotation are based either on web content analysis such as in [21], or on web page structure mining such as in [7]. A number of solutions present quite important percentages of successful annotation in specific domain web pages, such as in [22].…”

This paper presents a ''Semantic Web application framework'' which allows different applications to be designed and developed for improving the accessibility of the World Wide Web (WWW). The framework promotes the idea of creating a community of people federating into groups (ontology creators, annotators, user-agent developers, end-users) each playing a specific role, without the coordination of any central authority. The use of a specialised voice web browser for blind people, called SeEBrowser, is presented and discussed as an example of an accessibility tool developed based on the framework. SeEBrowser utilises annotations of web pages and provides browsing shortcuts. Browsing shortcuts are mechanisms, which facilitate blind people in moving efficiently through various elements of a web page (e.g. functional elements such as forms, navigational aids etc.) during the information-seeking process, hence operating effectively as a vital counterbalance to low accessibility. Finally, an experimental user study is presented and discussed which evaluates SeEBrowser with and without the use of browsing shortcuts.

“…Mukherjee, Ramakrishnan & Kifer suggest the semantic storage of bookmarks by partitioning elements in a web page according to their structural type, spatial locality and semantic similarity [1]. Takano and Winograd researched WWW Dynamic Bookmark that calculates bookmark importance rank from user's navigation behavior aiding easy pick-up of useful URLs [8].…”

Seeking information from the web often involves a search followed by careful inspection of the resultant web pages.The inspection involves extensive reading and weeding out of undesired web pages. During this phase, due to the absence of a tracking tool, users often tend to lose track of the pages they already visited and read, necessitating numerous time-consuming and painful re-reads. Globe, a web browser designed and developed in this research, can aid this process by providing methods to highlight all desired information in web pages, add personal user annotations to web pages, and store these pages with all their metadata locally for future retrieval. These methodologies combined together facilitate quick and easy tracking of desired web page content, thus eliminating need for repetitive reads.

One of the biggest issues the World Wide Web (WWW) community has to overcome is accessibility for all. The rapid expansion of the WWW using problematic web authoring practices, together with the dominance of the desktop metaphor in web page design has raised many WWW accessibility problems for people with disabilities. In this paper we present a what may be termed as a "Semantic Web application framework" which allows different applications to be designed and developed for improving accessibility of the WWW. Apart from the architecture, the tools and the technologies that compose the framework, the key idea of the framework is that it aims at promoting the idea of creating a community of people federating into groups each playing a specific role: ontology creators creating concepts using an ontological approach to describe various elements of the WWW, annotators using concepts to annotate specific pages, user-agent developers creating tools based on the framework, and finally end-users (people with disabilities) that use these tools for their benefit. Within the proposed framework, these groups cooperate and interact with each other, having as their ultimate goal the improvement of WWW accessibility.
