Abstract
In this paper was proposed a method for the description of web pages using web patterns. We will explain what we mean by the term "web pattern". We will present a taxonomy web patterns and a description of some their types. In the description of web patterns we will focus on properties which are useful for automatic detection on web pages. As a result of the detection we get a description of a web page using found web patterns. The description can be used for reordering and clustering of a web page set.
