  • Natural language transformations for propagating hypertext label changes
    Patent number: 6370497
    Abstract: In a page for computer display structured with labels for programmed navigational program links, such as a page programmed in HTML with hypertext link tags, a small amount of simple linguistic case information on contextual use of the label on the page presented can be stored as an extra property or attribute on the link itself. This programming data is then used during rendering of the link to resolve the text of the link label in its proper context on the page, even if a change has been propagated to the name of the link's destination.
