| Abstract | In order to interact with a Web site, humans must be able to distinguish and understand the purposes of different page blocks, e.g. header, navigation bar or content area. In case of navigational blocks, the block type determines the functionality of the hyperlinks it contains. For example, the hyperlinks in the main menu block represent the main topics of a site while the hyperlinks in a breadcrumb trail show the location in the content hierarchy. Hence, mining navigational blocks of specific types can provide valuable input for applications in the fields of crawling, ranking or presenting search results. However, analyzing visual features in order to identify specific navigational blocks as humans do is a difficult, resource-consuming task and a general solution does not exist yet. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to the problem and present the Graph-based block extraction method (GRABEX) that can be adapted to classify different types of navigational blocks. The fundamental concept is that a separate graph-based link-analysis is conducted for groups of blocks. Each block group consists of blocks from different pages that have similar CSS class attributes. This allows discovering navigational blocks of specific types, e.g. breadcrumb trails, without analyzing any presentational features. We apply our method to mine breadcrumb trails and are the first to describe an applicable solution to this problem. In an extensive evaluation including 700 different sites, the GRABEX-method performed with perfect precision and high recall. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
