[delicious-discuss] tagging web page fragments

2005-09-19 Thread Amir Michail
Hi,

I think it would be interesting to be able to tag web page fragments.

For example, you could highlight some text in a web page and give it tags.

This can be used to provide helpful annotations/navigation while
looking at a web page.

It can also be used to build a more helpful sort of search engine.

Of course, having del.icio.us automatically move these tags around as
a web page evolves can be quite tricky.

What if you just annotated a point instead of a region? I suppose one  
could identify that with XPath... seems like it would be very fragile

The same sort of issue comes up in this search engine for code:

http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~amichail/cvssearch/paper.pdf

Sure, moving tags around would be heuristic, but it might be better
than not having the feature at all.

If you don't want heuristics at all, you could throw away all the
subpage tags when the web page is changes (and perhaps cache an old
version of the page with its subpage tags).

Fwd: [delicious-discuss] tagging web page fragments

2005-09-19 Thread John Tropea
Can't you just add a clipping field like in Furl?

At the moment I use pasta (http://pasta.cantbedone.org/) orwetaste (http://wetaste.com/)with del.icio.us
 to save my own text or fragments of web pages.

Another approach is that if you want to save the URL of an actual point within the page, you can use Purple Slurple (http://www.purpleslurple.net/)

The only service I know with this functionality is netsnippets or e-snips (http://www.esnips.com/)...I haven't tried this, I wonder if the fragment you save, is saved as your own user permalink, and you have to go to the page to see the native URL that the fragment came from.
