Live-marker: A personalized web page content marking tool
This addresses the issue of information overload for web users by enabling faster retrieval of relevant content, though it appears incremental as it builds on existing marking concepts.
The paper tackles the problem of users spending minimal time on web pages by proposing a model that allows personalized content marking, both explicitly and implicitly, to help users quickly find previously consumed information during revisits, with prototype implementation validating its efficiency.
The tremendous amount of increase in the quantity of information resources available on the web has made the total time that the user spends on a single page very minimal. Users revisiting the same page would be able to fetch the required information much faster if the information that they consumed during the previous visit(s) gets presented to them with a special style. This paper proposes a model which empowers the users to mark the content interesting to them, so that it can be identified easily during successive visits. In addition to the explicit marking by the users, the model facilitates implicit marking based on the user preferences. The prototype implementation based on proposed model validates the model's efficiency.
