Abstract

A method, system, and data structure for creating electronic calendar entries or calendar events are disclosed. A web document is obtained. A first parameter of an event is identified, and a parameter complementary to the first parameter is also identified. The complementary parameter is identified, from among a plurality of candidate parameters. Each parameter corresponds to a distinct text portion of the web document. The complementary parameter is identified in accordance with a distance metric between the text portion of the web document corresponding to the first parameter and the text portion of the web document corresponding to the complementary parameter. Then an event creation link is created and embedded in the web document. The event creation link contains event information corresponding to at least the first parameter and the complementary parameter. The web document, including the embedded event creation link, is provided for display.
