Abstract

In this paper, we propose WISPA (Web Indicator by Sharing Personal Annotations) Framework, which aims at mining useful information from communities on the World Wide Web with sharing personal annotations. In WISPA, annotations assigned to web pages on WWW are highly respected, because personal annotations contain each users' opinions or impressions to web pages, and those annotations can be used as essential materials for judging whether an information is important or not. Concretely, the process of WISPA proceeds as follows: First, users individually write personal annotations concerning certain web pages. Then, the system restructures and merges those annotations according to users' interests, and they browse others' useful annotations. As a consequence, new personal annotations are brought out as feedbacks. XML technologies are used for the implementation. In particular, the structure of the personal annotation are given by XML schema, and integration of personal annotations are realized by XLink.
