Abstract
A method and system for identifying explanatory text for a referenced web page based on a reference to the referenced web page contained in a repeated pattern of a referencing web page is provided. An anchor explanatory text ('AET') system uses the hierarchical organization of the web page to identify a repeated pattern of hierarchical elements that contain references to other display pages. After the AET system identifies a repeated pattern, it identifies the dominant reference or anchor within each occurrence of the pattern. The AET system uses the explanatory text surrounding a dominant anchor as a description of the referenced web page.
