Abstract

Intermediaries are perfectly suited to customizing and annotating web pages, as they can stand in the flow of data between web browser and web server, monitoring user behavior and modifying page markup. In this paper, we present LiveInfo, an intermediary-based framework for customizing and annotating web pages. LiveInfo breaks customization and annotation into four steps: (a) splitting streaming data into useful chunks, (b) identifying meaningful patterns of chunks, (c) merging together overlapping patterns, and (d) adding markup to customize and annotate. Each of these steps is easily replaced or configured, making it simple to adapt web experience by customization and annotation.
