An Aspect Oriented Approach for Renarrating Web Content

The ability to modify the existing published web pages is what we are calling Renarration of the web. Such a mechanism is useful for improving accessibility and personalization of the content currently on the web. There are many techniques in place for enabling both Web Accessibility and Web Personalization. In this paper we propose a novel approach: an Aspects inspired design of renarration. Aspects have traditionally been applied to programming. Here we reinterpret concepts like Join Points, Point-cuts and Advices and apply them to web documents. To validate our approach, we designed a framework called Rennaration Studio that is built using microservices based architecture pattern and implemented using Python's flask platform. We demonstrate the feasibility of our proposal by renarrating different Aspects (text, language, phonetics) of two specific web documents.
