HTML2RSS: automatic generation of RSS feed based on structure analysis of HTML document

We present a system to automatically generate RSS feeds from HTML documents that consist of time-series items with date expressions, e.g., archives of weblogs, BBSs, chats, mailing lists, site update descriptions, and event announcements. Our system extracts date expressions, performs structure analysis of a HTML document, and detects or generates titles from the document.
