MAMA: What is the Web made of?

MAMA: What is the Web made of? the "Metadata Analysis and Mining Application".

MAMA is a structural Web-page search engine—it trawls Web pages and returns results detailing page structures, including what HTML, CSS, and script is used on it, as well as whether the HTML validates. In this document, and the ones that link from it, you'll find data that has been pulled from MAMA so far. There is a lot of information here, but every effort has been made to keep it readable and interesting for the various types of people who might be interested in such data.

MAMA can definitely provide data on discrete issues such as "what is the 18th most popular element?" (SPAN), or "how popular is Flash?" (found in 33.5% of MAMA URLs). It can also dig deeper, by yielding regional and other data breakdowns. This allows us to discover that some countries like Germany show a decreased tendency for Flash (25% of pages), while other countries have much higher incidences (Chinese URLs in MAMA used Flash 67% of the time). For a quick look at some of MAMA's basic results, the Key Findings document provides a summary.
