Annotation of Web Content for Transcoding Masahiro Hori (IBM Tokyo Research Laboratory) Users are increasingly accessing the Internet from Web-enabled personal devices. Since such devices do not have the same rendering capabilities as desktop computers, it is necessary for Web content to be adapted, or transcoded, for proper presentation on a variety of client devices. In this talk, I briefly introduce a framework of external annotation, in which existing HTML documents are associated with content adaptation hint as separate annotation files written with XML/RDF. An annotation-based transcoding system is then presented with particular focus on the authoring-time integration between a WYSIWYG authoring tool and a transcoding module. Finally, a short demonstration is given an example of content adaptation using a page-splitting module for small-screen devices.
