Internet Scrapbook: Automating Web Browsing Tasks by Programming-by-Demonstration
This paper describes an intelligent Web browsing system, called Internet Scrapbook, which allows users with little programming skill to automate their repetitive browsing tasks using a programming-by-demonstration technique. With the system, the user can create a personal page by clipping only the necessary portions from multiple Web pages. Once the personal page is created, the system updates it on behalf of the user by extracting the specified parts from the latest Web pages.
