Ideally, one should be able to extract micro-formatted content from any web page for use by knowledge services and applications. The Semantic Highlighter project at CommerceNet Labs is a step toward that goal.

In this screen mockup, the user has highlighted selected items of interest on a Web page. The program then creates a structured representation of that information by selecting and populating relevant microformat(s). In this example, the software is filling out a vCard describing me. Note that it has to follow the URL to CommerceNet’s web site to obtain my contact information. In general, given some highlighted data on a web page, an arbitrary amount of interference may be required to pick relevant microformats and fill in missing fields.
