Annotation based automatic action processing
This work addresses the need for efficient utilization of structured web data beyond search engines, such as for automated web services, but it appears incremental as it builds on existing schema.org standards.
The paper tackles the problem of leveraging the growing amount of structured data on the web, specifically schema.org annotations, by presenting an approach to consume and process this data for automatic action processing, with a focus on providing a best practice example.
With a strong motivational background in search engine optimization the amount of structured data on the web is growing rapidly. The main search engine providers are promising great increase in visibility through annotation of the web page's content with the vocabulary of schema.org and thus providing it as structured data. But besides the usage by search engines the data can be used in various other ways, for example for automatic processing of annotated web services or actions. In this work we present an approach to consume and process schema.org annotated data on the web and give an idea how a best practice can look like.
