Paper Abstract:
|
Many techniques have been proposed to improve web browsing experiences on the mobile devices by transcoding the original web content. However, the original semantics of web tables tend to be broken in the transcoded results. We capture basic features of web tables from their DOM-tree (Document Object Model Tree) semantic information. We propose a new table feature called Cell Extension Direction (CED) to capture the extension direction of cell content as one-directional or bi-directional. CED is computed by checking the difference between the average composite object type (ACOT) of rows and that of columns. These features are used to classify web tables into data tables and layout tables. The classification results, along with CC/PP configurations of the mobile device, are then utilized to guide the applications of the following three transcoding strategies for tables: zooming, transposition, and one-column-view. We demonstrate that the table semantics could be preserved in the transcoding results. |
