A new approach to recycle web contents -: The DOM tree as the support for building new web pages

After an initial period of populating the web with a large amount of resources; a new situation has to be faced in the scope of the WWW: the over production of web contents. Currently, there is a lot of resources available in the web and new approaches are scanned to improve some features. In particular, this paper tackles the reusability of contents. The aim of this paper is an alternative method to provide a simple and effective manner to reuse contents in order to create new web resources. This approach is based on the use of the DOM tree that defines the web resource to build up new web pages. The presented method involves minor changes on the server side and no change at all on the client side. Besides, this proposal can take advantage of resources already developed using on-the-fly technologies.
