Automatic Generation of RSS Feed based on HTML Document Structure Analysis

Abstract

In this paper, we present a system to automatically generate RSS Feeds from HTML documents which include time-series information with date expressions (e.g., archives of weblogs, BBSs, chats, and mailing lists, update descriptions on a site page, announcements of events, and so on). Our system is based on extraction of date expressions, structure analysis of HTML documents, and title detection/generation from the contents.
