  Introduction

     - Taxonomy: ”the practice and science of
       classification”

     - Many web pages share the same layout or user
       interfaces

     - We have extracted several kinds of interfaces
       by studying the structure of a collection of web
       pages

  Conclusions
          9 different categories can be used as an UI taxonomy
            for web pages

          Based on the layout and structure of web pages
                                               web

          Work has been done by studying a set of representative
           web pages that can be found on the internet, extracting
           common features

         MBL-I: special case; alternative for mobile devices users
