An annotation tool for web browsers and its applications to information retrieval

TLDR
A new Web annotation tool is presented which uses the Document Object Model Level 2 and Dynamic HTML to deliver a system where speed and privacy are important issues and preliminary results show that annotations can be used to produce user-directed document clustering and classification.
Abstract
With bookmark programs, current Web browsers provide a limited support to personalize the Web. We present a new Web annotation tool which uses the Document Object Model Level 2 and Dynamic HTML to deliver a system where speed and privacy are important issues. We report on several experiments showing how annotations improve document access and retrieval by providing user-directed document summaries. Preliminary results also show that annotations can be used to produce user-directed document clustering and classification.

HyPursuit: a hierarchical network search engine that exploits content-link hypertext clustering

TL;DR: Experience with HyPursuit suggests that abstraction functions based on hypertext clustering can be used to construct meaningful and scalable cluster hierarchies, and is encouraged by preliminary results on clustering based on both document contents and hyperlink structures.
