Title
Reuse of Linked Documents through Virtual Document Prescriptions
Abstract
Abstract As the WWW becomes a major source of information, a lot of interest has arisen, not only for searching for information, but for reusing this informa - tion in new pages or directly from applications Unfortunately HTML tags do not provide a significant level of structure for identifying and extracting infor - mation, since they are mostly used for presentation issues Moreover the simple link mechanism of the Web does not support the controlled traversal of links to related pages Particularly promising is the proposal for a new standard, XML, which could bring the power of SGML to the Web while keeping the simplicity of HTML In this paper we present a system and a language that allows reusing in - formation from various sources, including databases and SGML - like documents, by combining it dynamically to produce a virtual document The language uses a tree - like structure for the representation of information objects as well as links between objects The paper focuses on the selection and the traversal of XML links to extract information from linked pages The strength of our approach is to be an SGML - compliant solution, which makes it ready to take full advantage of XML for reusing information from the Web as soon as it is widely used
