Abstract
Nowadays Web plays a vital role in everyone’s life. Whether one has to search something, perform any online task or anything on Internet, one has to come across Web pages throughout. For small screen terminals such as small mobile phone screen, palmtop, pagers, tablet computers, and many more, reading a Web page is time-consuming task because there are many unwanted content parts which are to be scrolled or there are advertisements, etc. To overcome such issue, the source code of a Web page is organized in tree format. In this paper, backtracking is applied on the tree as per some mentioned rules (I, II, III) to filter out the Web page headings. These rules are applied until none of the nodes is left unvisited. The filtered data is then mapped to a multidimensional (MDB) data cube. Again MDB is used by online analytical processing (OLAP) which in turn is one of the greatest tools for analysts in today’s entrepreneur’s scenario. This strategy makes Web page access a very simple and interesting task.
