I have been thinking there should be a way in html to mark the main part of a web page, as opposed to the header, navigation, footer, etc. It could be used when printing, by screen readers, search engines, Readability. I don't know if the W3C would approve such a tag, or if site owners would bother to use it though.
- semanticist 16y agoHTML 5 has the 'article' tag. There's also header, footer, and other semantic mark-up tags. I've spent the last month writing scrapers for newspaper sites. No one uses any of these things.
- buss 16y agoAre the scrapers hand-tuned to each website? If not how did you do it?
- semanticist 16y agoWe need to extract site-specific metadata, and I'm no expert at NLP, so it's mostly one scraper per site.
