Website Parse Template (WPT) Submission Request to W3C

We, W3C Member(s) OMFICA.org, hereby submit to the Consortium the following specification, comprising the following document(s) attached hereto:
  1. Website Parse Template

which collectively are referred to as "the Submission". We request the Submission be known as the WPT Submission.

Abstract

Existing web crawling technologies assume content extraction directly from web pages without basing on keywords declared in HTML codes. The key reason is that web publishers usually define keywords different from the actual content. The same situation is with deployment of RDF, because there is no guarantee for web crawlers that the information included in RDF file fully corresponds to actual content. Moreover, RDF description prepared for specific web page provides information about the content and does not include any information about content allocation on that web page.

To escape the mismatch problems described above, web crawlers are forced to check RDF compliance with structured content for each targeted web page which is associated with the lack information on web page structured content. Website Parse Template facilitates solution of this problem by providing web page HTML structure description for a single or group of similarly structured pages. Website Parse Template (WPT) allows web publishers to define references to specific HTML elements together with web page content description represented in any supported format including RDF.
