In this paper, we describe the foundations for generating a chatbot out of a website equipped with simple, bot-specific HTML annotations. The approach is part of what we call conversational web browsing, i.e., a dialog-based, natural language interaction with websites. The goal is to enable users to use content and functionality accessible through rendered UIs by "talking to websites" instead of by operating the graphical UI using keyboard and mouse. The chatbot mediates between the user and the website, operates its graphical UI on behalf of the user, and informs the user about the state of interaction. We describe the conceptual vocabulary and annotation format, the supporting conversational middleware and techniques, and the implementation of a demo able to deliver conversational web browsing experiences through Amazon Alexa.

在本文中，我们将探讨认知增强带来的机会，以提供更自然和更方便的Web浏览体验。我们探索这些机会，通过\textit{conversational web browsing}，一个新兴的互动模式，使盲人和视障用户（BVIP），以及普通用户，通过会话代理访问网站的内容和功能。通知的文献，我们以前的工作和原型设计练习，我们得到一个概念框架，支持BVIP会话的Web浏览需求，然后专注于自动提供这种支持的挑战，描述我们的早期工作和原型，利用只考虑结构和内容功能的算法。
