Abstract
Web Augmentation is usually applied to add, remove and change Web sites’ functionalities, content, and presentation. Content-based Web Augmentation is commonly performed by integrating content from an external Web site into the current one. In this article, we explore the use of the Semantic Web as a source of information to be incorporated to any Web site, aiming to simplify the development of Web Augmentation based on Semantic Web data. Our approach allows end-users without any programming skills to build Web Augmentation scripts that takes some information from the current Web page, and produce new related information gathered from the Semantic Web. This article introduces a pipeline process for building Semantic Web Augmentations and an end-user development tool called SWAX to create augmentation layers without the need for any programming or Semantic Web skills.
