摘要：

Many web sources provide access to an underlying database containing structured data. These data can be usually accessed in HTML form only, which makes it difficult for software programs to obtain them in structured form. Nevertheless, web sources usually encode data records using a consistent template or layout, and the implicit regularities in the template can be used to automatically infer the structure and extract the data. In this paper, we propose a set of novel techniques to address this problem. While several previous works have addressed the same problem, most of them require multiple input pages while our method requires only one. In addition, previous methods make some assumptions about how data records are encoded into web pages, which do not always hold in real websites. Finally, we have also tested our techniques with a high number of real web sources and we have found them to be very effective. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
