چکیده
Web data analysis applications such as extracting mutual funds information from a website, daily extracting opening and closing price of stock from a web page involves web data extraction. Every time you need analyze data, you need to visit number of web sites. It is very time consuming process to construct wrapper to visit those sites and collect data. In this paper, we propose technique called DEUDS, a page level data extraction system that automatically discovers extraction pattern from web pages for selected data section and extracts data. DEUDS uses visual cues to identify data records while ignoring noise items such as advertises and navigation bars. Keywords— DOM Tree, CSS selector, semi structured web pages and Web data extraction.

Data Extraction using Content-Based Handles
In this paper, we present an approach and a visual tool, called HWrap (Handle Based Wrapper), for creating web wrappers to extract data records from web pages. In our approach, we mainly rely on the visible page content to identify data regions on a web page. In our extraction algorithm, we inspired by the way a human user scans the page content for specific data. In particular, we use text fea...

متن کاملData Driven XPath Generation
The XPath query language offers a standard for information extraction from HTML documents. Therefore, the DOM tree representation is typically used, which models the hierarchical structure of the document. One of the key aspects of HTML is the separation of data and the structure that is used to represent it. A consequence thereof is that data extraction algorithms usually fail to identify data...
متن کاملUsing the words/leafs ratio in the DOM tree for content extraction
The main content in a webpage is usually centered and visible without the need to scroll. It is often rounded by the navigation menus of the website and it can include advertisements, panels, banners, and other not necessarily related information. The process to automatically extract the main content of a webpage is called content extraction. Content extraction is an area of research of widely ...
