Semi-Automatic Wrapper Generation for Commercial Web Sources
نویسندگان
چکیده
Semi-automatic wrapper generation tools aim to ease the task of building structured views over semi-structured web sources. But the wrapper generation techniques presented up to date are unable to properly deal with sources requiring complex navigational sequences for accessing data. In this paper, we present Wargo, a semi-automatic wrapper generation tool, which has been used by non-programmer staff to successfully wrap more than 700 commercial web sources in several industrial applications. We describe our approach for wrapper generation and show the difficulties found with other systems for wrapping this kind of sources.

متن کاملSemi-Automatic Wrapper Generation for Internet Information Sources
To simplify the task of obtaining information from the vast number of information sources that are available on the World Wide Web (WWW), we are building tools to build information mediators for extracting and integrating data from multiple Web sources. In a mediator based approach, wrappers are built around individual information sources, that provide translation between the mediator query lan...

The amount of useful semi-structured data on the web continues to grow at a stunning pace. Often interesting web data are not in database systems but in HTML pages, XML pages, or text files. Data in these formats are not directly usable by standard SQL-like query processing engines that support sophisticated querying and reporting beyond keyword-based retrieval. Hence, the web users or applicat...

In this paper, we present the W4F toolkit for the generation of wrappers for Web sources. W4F consists of a retrieval language to identify Web sources, a declarative extraction language (the HTML Extraction Language) to express robust extraction rules and a mapping interface to export the extracted information into some userde ned data-structures. To assist the user and make the creation of wra...
