The World Wide Web is enriched with a large collection of data, scattered in deep web databases and web
pages in unstructured or semi structured formats. Recently evolving customer friendly web applications
need special data extraction mechanisms to draw out the required data from these deep web, according to
the end user query and populate to the output page dynamically at the fastest rate. In existing research
areas web data extraction methods are based on the supervised learning (wrapper induction) methods. In
the past few years researchers depicted on the automatic web data extraction methods based on similarity
measures. Among automatic data extraction methods our existing Combining Tag and Value similarity
method, lags to identify an attribute in the query result table. A novel approach for data extracting and
label assignment called Annotation for Query Result Records based on domain specific ontology. First, an
ontology domain is to be constructed using information from query interface and query result pages
obtained from the web. Next, using this domain ontology, a meaning label is assigned automatically to each
column of the extracted query result records.

Multi Similarity Measure based Result Merging Strategies in Meta Search EngineIDES Editor
In Meta Search Engine result merging is the key
component. Meta Search Engines provide a uniform query
interface for Internet users to search for information.
Depending on users’ needs, they select relevant sources and
map user queries into the target search engines, subsequently
merging the results. The effectiveness of a Meta Search
Engine is closely related to the result merging algorithm it
employs. In this paper, we have proposed a Meta Search
Engine, which has two distinct steps (1) searching through
surface and deep search engine, and (2) Ranking the results
through the designed ranking algorithm. Initially, the query
given by the user is inputted to the deep and surface search
engine. The proposed method used two distinct algorithms
for ranking the search results, concept similarity based
method and cosine similarity based method. Once the results
from various search engines are ranked, the proposed Meta
Search Engine merges them into a single ranked list. Finally,
the experimentation will be done to prove the efficiency of
the proposed visible and invisible web-based Meta Search
Engine in merging the relevant pages. TSAP is used as the
evaluation criteria and the algorithms are evaluated based on
these criteria.

COST-SENSITIVE TOPICAL DATA ACQUISITION FROM THE WEBIJDKP
The cost of acquiring training data instances for induction of data mining models is one of the main concerns in real-world problems. The web is a comprehensive source for many types of data which can be used for data mining tasks. But the distributed and dynamic nature of web dictates the use of solutions which can handle these characteristics. In this paper, we introduce an automatic method for topical data acquisition from the web. We propose a new type of topical crawlers that use a hybrid link context extraction method for topical crawling to acquire on-topic web pages with minimum bandwidth usage and with the lowest cost. The new link context extraction method which is called Block Text Window (BTW), combines a text window method with a block-based method and overcomes challenges of each of these methods using the advantages of the other one. Experimental results show the predominance of BTW in comparison with state of the art automatic topical web data acquisition methods based on standard metrics.
IDENTIFYING IMPORTANT FEATURES OF USERS TO IMPROVE PAGE RANKING ALGORITHMSIJwest
Web is a wide, various and dynamic environment in which different users publish their documents. Webmining is one of data mining applications in which web patterns are explored. Studies on web mining can be categorized into three classes: application mining, content mining and structure mining. Today, internet has found an increasing significance. Search engines are considered as an important tool to respond users’ interactions. Among algorithms which is used to find pages desired by users is page rank algorithm which ranks pages based on users’ interests. However, as being the most widely used algorithm by search engines including Google, this algorithm has proved its eligibility compared to similar algorithm, but considering growth speed of Internet and increase in using this technology, improving performance of this algorithm is considered as one of the web mining necessities. Current study emphasizes on Ant Colony algorithm and marks most visited links based on higher amount of pheromone. Results of the proposed algorithm indicate high accuracy of this method compared to previous methods. Ant Colony Algorithm as one of the swarm intelligence algorithms inspired by social behavior of ants can be effective in modeling social behavior of web users. In addition, application mining and structure mining techniques can be used simultaneously to improve page ranking performance.
Comparable Analysis of Web Mining Categoriestheijes
Web Data Mining is the current field of analysis which is a combination of two research area known as Data Mining and World Wide Web. Web Data Mining research associates with various research diversities like Database, Artificial Intelligence and Information redeem. The mining techniques are categorized into various categories namely Web Content Mining, Web Structure Mining and Web Usage Mining. In this work, analysis of mining techniques are done. From the analysis it has been concluded that Web Content Mining has unstructured or semi- structure view of data whereas Web Structure Mining have linked structure and Web Usage Mining mainly includes interaction.
It is a attempt to provide unified view of open data, In this system, data is collected from different sources in different formats. Data producer will define semantic relationship among datasets which is to input to our DC system.
Data consumer can pick a set of dataset randomly(or depends on his/her interest) and ask system to get HTTP API for it. System will identify which datasets are linked with each other (connected components) and generate HTTP API for each component which will produce unified output in JSON/XML format
It helps in maintaining loose coupling between underline storage structure and consumer client which is built on open data.
With the rapid development in Geographic Information Systems (GISs) and their applications, more and
more geo-graphical databases have been developed by different vendors. However, data integration and
accessing is still a big problem for the development of GIS applications as no interoperability exists among
different spatial databases. In this paper we propose a unified approach for spatial data query. The paper
describes a framework for integrating information from repositories containing different vector data sets
formats and repositories containing raster datasets. The presented approach converts different vector data
formats into a single unified format (File Geo-Database “GDB”). In addition, we employ “metadata” to
support a wide range of users’ queries to retrieve relevant geographic information from heterogeneous and
distributed repositories. Such an employment enhances both query processing and performance.
PAS: A Sampling Based Similarity Identification Algorithm for compression of ...rahulmonikasharma
Generally, Users perform searches to satisfy their information needs. Now a day’s lots of people are using search engine to satisfy information need. Server search is one of the techniques of searching the information. the Growth of data brings new changes in Server. The data usually proposed in timely fashion in server. If there is increase in latency then it may cause a massive loss to the enterprises. The similarity detection plays very important role in data. while there are many algorithms are used for similarity detection such as Shingle, Simhas TSA and Position Aware sampling algorithm. The Shingle Simhash and Traits read entire files to calculate similar values. It requires the long delay in growth of data set value. instead of reading entire Files PAS sample some data in the form of Unicode to calculate similarity characteristic value.PAS is the advance technique of TSA. However slight modification of file will trigger the position of file content .Therefore the failure of similarity identification is there due to some modifications.. This paper proposes an Enhanced Position-Aware Sampling algorithm (EPAS) to identify file similarity for the Server. EPAS concurrently samples data blocks from the modulated file to avoid the position shift by the modifications. While there is an metric is proposed to measure the similarity between different files and make the possible detection probability close to the actual probability. In this paper describes a PAS algorithm to reduce the time overhead of similarity detection. Using PAS algorithm we can reduce the complication and time for identifying the similarity. Our result demonstrate that the EPAS significantly outperforms the existing well known algorithms in terms of time. Therefore, it is an effective approach of similarity identification for the Server.
The previous research has focused on quick and efficient generation of wrappers; the
development of tools for wrapper maintenance has received less attention. This is an important research
problem because Web sources often change in ways that prevent the wrappers from extracting data
correctly. Present an efficient algorithm that extract unstructured data to structural data from web. The
wrapper verification system detects when a wrapper is not extracting correct data, usually because the
Web source has changed its format. The Verification framework automatically recovers data using
Dimension Reduction Techniques from changes in the Web source by identifying data on Web pages.
After apply wrapped data to One Class Classification in Numerical features for avoid classification
problem. Finally, the result data apply in Top-K query for provide best rank based on probabilities
scores. Wrapper verification system relies on one-class classification techniques to beat previous
weaknesses to identify the problem by analysing both the signature and the classifier output. If there are
sufficient mislabelled slots, a technique to find a pattern could be explored.
Using Page Size for Controlling Duplicate Query Results in Semantic WebIJwest
Semantic web is a web of future. The Resource Description Framework (RDF) is a language
to represent resources in the World Wide Web. When these resources are queried the problem of duplicate
query results occurs. The present techniques used hash index comparison to remove duplicate query
results. The major drawback of using the hash index to remove duplicate query results is that, if there is a
slight change in formatting or word order, then hash index is changed and query results are no more
considered as duplicate even though they have same contents. We presented an algorithm for detection and
elimination of duplicate query results from semantic web using hash index and page size comparisons.
Experimental results showed that the proposed technique removed duplicate query results from semantic
web efficiently, solved the problems of using hash index for duplicate handling and could be embedded in
existing SQL-Based query system for semantic web. Research could be carried out for certain flexibilities
in existing SQL-Based query system of semantic web to accommodate other duplicate detection techniques
as well.

Certain Issues in Web Page Prediction, Classification and Clustering in Data ...IJAEMSJORNAL
Nowadays, data mining which is a part of web mining plays a vital role in various applications such as search engines, health care centers for extracting the individual patient details among huge database, analyzing disease based on basic criteria, education system for analyzing their performance level with other system, social networking, E-Commerce and knowledge management etc., which extract the information based on the user query. The issues are time taken to mine the target content or webpage from the search engines, space complexity and predicting the frequent webpage for the next user based on users’ behaviour.
Annotating Search Results from Web DatabasesSWAMI06
An increasing number of databases have become web accessible through HTML form-based search interfaces. The data
units returned from the underlying database are usually encoded into the result pages dynamically for human browsing. For the
encoded data units to be machine processable, which is essential for many applications such as deep web data collection and Internet
comparison shopping, they need to be extracted out and assigned meaningful labels. In this paper, we present an automatic
annotation approach that first aligns the data units on a result page into different groups such that the data in the same group have the
same semantic. Then, for each group we annotate it from different aspects and aggregate the different annotations to predict a final
annotation label for it. An annotation wrapper for the search site is automatically constructed and can be used to annotate new result
pages from the same web database. Our experiments indicate that the proposed approach is highly effective.
Enhanced Web Usage Mining Using Fuzzy Clustering and Collaborative Filtering ...inventionjournals
Information is overloaded in the Internet due to the unstable growth of information and it makes information search as complicate process. Recommendation System (RS) is the tool and largely used nowadays in many areas to generate interest items to users. With the development of e-commerce and information access, recommender systems have become a popular technique to prune large information spaces so that users are directed toward those items that best meet their needs and preferences. As the exponential explosion of various contents generated on the Web, Recommendation techniques have become increasingly indispensable. Web recommendation systems assist the users to get the exact information and facilitate the information search easier. Web recommendation is one of the techniques of web personalization, which recommends web pages or items to the user based on the previous browsing history. But the tremendous growth in the amount of the available information and the number of visitors to web sites in recent years places some key challenges for recommender system. The recent recommender systems stuck with producing high quality recommendation with large information, resulting unwanted item instead of targeted item or product, and performing many recommendations per second for millions of user and items. To avoid these challenges a new recommender system technologies are needed that can quickly produce high quality recommendation, even for a very large scale problems. To address these issues we use two recommender system process using fuzzy clustering and collaborative filtering algorithms. Fuzzy clustering is used to predict the items or product that will be accessed in the future based on the previous action of user browsers behavior. Collaborative filtering recommendation process is used to produce the user expects result from the result of fuzzy clustering and collection of Web Database data items. Using this new recommendation system, it results the user expected product or item with minimum time. This system reduces the result of unrelated and unwanted item to user and provides the results with user interested domain.

No other medium has taken a more meaningful place in our life in such a short time than the world wide largest data network, the World Wide Web. However, when searching for information in the data network, the user is constantly exposed to an ever growing ood of information. This is both a blessing and a curse at the same time. The explosive growth and popularity of the world wide web has resulted in a huge number of information sources on the Internet. As web sites are getting more complicated, the construction of web information extraction systems becomes more difficult and time consuming. So the scalable automatic Web Information Extraction WIE is also becoming high demand. There are four levels of information extraction from the World Wide Web such as free text level, record level, page level and site level. In this paper, the target extraction task is record level extraction.

Web Content Mining Based on Dom Intersection and Visual Features Conceptijceronline
Structured Data extraction from deep Web pages is a challenging task due to the underlying complex structures of such pages. Also website developer generally follows different web page design technique. Data extraction from webpage is highly useful to build our own database from number applications. A large number of techniques have been proposed to address this problem, but all of them have inherent limitations because they present different limitations and constraints for extracting data from such webpages. This paper presents two different approaches to get structured data extraction. The first approach is non-generic solution which is based on template detection using intersection of Document Object Model Tree of various webpages from the same website. This approach is giving better result in terms of efficiency and accurately locating the main data at the particular webpage. The second approach is based on partial tree alignment mechanism based on using important visual features such as length, size, and position of web table available on the webpages. This approach is a generic solution as it does not depend on one particular website and its webpage template. It is perfectly locating the multiple data regions, data records and data items within a given web page. We have compared our work's result with existing mechanism and found our result much better for number webpage

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

ABSTRACT
The World Wide Web is enriched with a large collection of data, scattered in deep web databases and web
pages in unstructured or semi structured formats. Recently evolving customer friendly web applications
need special data extraction mechanisms to draw out the required data from these deep web, according to
the end user query and populate to the output page dynamically at the fastest rate. In existing research
areas web data extraction methods are based on the supervised learning (wrapper induction) methods. In
the past few years researchers depicted on the automatic web data extraction methods based on similarity
measures. Among automatic data extraction methods our existing Combining Tag and Value similarity
method, lags to identify an attribute in the query result table. A novel approach for data extracting and
label assignment called Annotation for Query Result Records based on domain specific ontology. First, an
ontology domain is to be constructed using information from query interface and query result pages
obtained from the web. Next, using this domain ontology, a meaning label is assigned automatically to each
column of the extracted query result records.
Keywords: Data Extraction, Deep Web, Wrapper Induction, Data Record Alignment, Domain Ontology.
1. INTRODUCTION
Deep Web primarily contains some dynamic pages returned by the underlying databases. We call
the accessed online databases on the Web as “Web Databases (WDB)". WDB responds to a user
query to the relevant data, either structured or semi structured, embedded in HTML pages (called
query result pages in this paper). To utilize this data, it is necessary to extract it from the query
result pages. By analysing and summarizing web data, we can find latest market trends, price
details, product specification etc. Manual data extraction is time consuming and error prone.
Hence, Automatic data extraction plays an important role in processing results provided by search
engines after submitting the query by the user. The wrapper is an automated tool which extracts
Query Result Records (QRRs) from HTML pages returned by search engines. A query result page
returned from a WDB has multiple QRRs. Each QRR contains multiple data values each of which
describes one aspect of a real-world entity. There is a high demand for collecting data of interest
from multiple WDBs.
For example, once a book comparison shopping system collects multiple result records from
different book sites, it needs to determine whether any two QRRs refer to the same book. A book
can be compared with different websites by ISBN number. Suppose, the ISBNs are not available,
then their titles and authors could be compared. The system also needs to list the prices offered by
each site. Thus, the system needs to know the semantics of each data value. Unfortunately, the
semantic labels of data values are often not provided in result pages. Having semantic labels for

94
data value is not only important for the above record linkage task, but also for storing collected
QRRs into a database table for later analysis.
Early applications require tremendous human efforts to annotate data units manually, which
severely limit their scalability. Presently, Semantic annotation bases on correct extraction of
query results. Now automatic web data extraction has been relatively matured. In this work, the
method of automatic web data extraction defined in Combining Tag and Value Similarity (CTVS)
for data extraction and alignment [1] is adapted. Precisely, we propose to integrate the label
assignment for the attribute in the extracted QRRs based on the construction of an ontology
domain to give a better performance results.
A Web database responds to a user query to the relevant data in the form of query result pages.
The query result pages may be in a structured or semi-structured format. It is necessary to extract
the data values from the query result pages for the efficient utilization of data. Now-a- days,
automatic data extraction approach is popular for dynamically extracting the data from the web
database.
The goal of automatic data extraction method is to extract the relevant data from the query result
pages. Thus, the data values returned from the underlying database are usually encoded in the
result pages for human browsing. Also, the returned data values must be understandable and
processable by the machines. Because, it is essential for many applications such as deep web data
collection and comparison shopping, these extracts the data values with meaningful labels.
However, due to the automatic nature of the CTVS [1] approach, the data extracted will be
anonymous names. The annotated method is necessary for making meaningful names to the
extracted data values.
The current annotation methods are annotated from the single website for the query result pages.
It does not give better performance when the label values are not present in a website. The
proposed method annotation for query result records based on domain specific ontology is used to
construct an ontology domain from different websites. It would give better performance when
integrating with CTVS data extraction method.
The following is the description of how the chapters are getting organized. In this section, we
discuss about various approaches of the data extraction methods. Section 2 describes the related
work of existing web data extraction methods. The Section 3 discusses in detail about the existing
web data extraction method, combined tag and value similarity. Section 4 deals the proposed
mechanism for enhancing the automatic data extraction method. Section 5 explains the
implementation of the existing system and experimental results obtained. Section 6 concludes by
stating the work
2. RELATED WORK
RoadRunner [2] – This method is used for extracting the data from the web page without any
human intervention. It starts with any page as its initial page template and then compares this
template with each new page. If the template cannot generate the new page, it is fine-tuned.
However, RoadRunner suffers from several limitations. (1) When RoadRunner finds that the
current template cannot generate a new page, it searches through an exponential size page schema
trying to fine tune the template. (2) RoadRunner assumes that the template generates all HTML
tags, which does not hold for many Web databases.(3) RoadRunner assumes that there are no
disjunctive attributes, which the authors of RoadRunner admit does not hold for many query
result pages. (4) Data labels/annotation is not addressed in RoadRunner, since it mainly focuses
on the data extraction problem.

Omini [3] – This method uses several heuristics to extract a subtree that contains data strings of
interest from an HTML page. Then, another set of heuristics is used to find a separator to segment
the minimum data object rich subtree into data records. However, Omini has a low effectiveness
for extracting data records than other extraction methods.
ExAlg [4] – This method is based on template extraction from the query result page. It performs
template extraction in two stages. The first stage is Equivalence Class Generation Stage (ECGM)
and second is analysis stage. ECGM stage computes equivalence classes. i.e, set of tokens having
the same frequency of occurrence in every page. This is performed by a FindEquiv sub module.
There may be many equivalence classes. But ExAlg only considers equivalence classes that are
large and contain tokens which occur in a large number of pages. Such equivalence classes are
called Large and Frequently Occurring Equivalence Classes (LFEQs). It is very unlikely for
LFEQs to be formed by chance. LFEQs are formed by tokens associated with the same type
constructor in the template.
IePAD [5] – This method is one of the first IE systems that generalize extraction patterns from
unlabelled Web pages. This method exploits the fact that if a Web page contains multiple
(homogeneous) data records to be extracted, they are often rendered regularly using the same
template for better visualization. Thus, repetitive patterns can be discovered if the page is well
encoded. Therefore, learning wrappers can be solved by discovering repetitive patterns. IePAD
uses a data structure called PAT trees which is a binary suffix tree to discover repetitive patterns
on a Web page. Since such a data structure only records the exact match for suffixes, IePAD
further applies a center star algorithm to align multiple strings which start from each occurrence
of a repeat and end before the start of next occurrence.
DeLa [6] – This method is an extension of IePAD. The method [7] removes the interaction of
users in extraction rule generalization and deals with nested object extraction. The wrapper
generation process in DeLa works on two consecutive steps. First, a Data-rich Section Extraction
algorithm (DSE) is designed to extract data-rich sections of the Web pages by comparing the
DOM trees for two Web pages (from the same Web site), and discarding nodes with identical
sub-trees. Second, a pattern extractor is used to discover continuously repeated (C-repeated)
patterns using suffix trees. By retaining the last occurrence for each discovered pattern, it
discovers new repeated patterns from the new sequence iteratively, forming nested structure.
Since a discovered pattern may cross the boundary of a data object, It tries K pages and selects
the one with the largest page support. Again, each occurrence of the regular expression represents
one data object. The data objects are then transformed into a relational table where multiple
values of one attribute are distributed in multiple rows of the table. Finally, labels are assigned to
the columns of the data table by four heuristics, including element labels in the search form or
tables of the page and maximal-prefix and maximal-suffix shared by all cells of the column.
Multiple patterns (rules) and it is hard to decide which is correct.
TISP [8] – This method constructs wrappers by looking for commonalities and variations in
sibling tables in sibling pages (i.e., pages that are from the same website and have similar
structures). Commonalities in sibling tables represent labels, while variations represent data
values. Matching sibling tables are found using a tree-mapping algorithm applied to the DOM
tree representation of tagged tables in sibling pages. Using several predefined table structure
templates, which are described using regular expressions, TISP “fits” the tables into one of the
templates allowing the table to be interpreted. The TISP is able to handle nested tables as well as
variations in table structure (i.e., optional columns) and is able to adjust the predefined templates
to account for various combinations of table templates. The whole process is fully automatic and
experiments show that TISP achieves an overall F-measure of 94.5% on the experimental data set.
4. International Journal on Natural Language Computing (IJNLC) Vol. 3, No.3, June 2014

However, TISP can only extract data records embedded in HTML<table> tags and only work
when sibling pages and tables are available.
NET [10] – It extract data items from data records even it handles nested data records also. There
are two main steps. Building tag tree is difficult because page may contain erroneous and
unbalanced tags. This is performed based on nested rectangles. For this four boundaries of each
HTML element are determined by calling embedded parsing and rendering engine of a browser.
A tree is constructed based on containment check, whether one rectangle contained inside
another.
NET algorithm traverses the tag tree in post order (bottom up) in order to find nested data records
which are found at lower levels. These tasks are performed using two algorithms traverse and
output. Traverse algorithm finds nested records by recursive call if the depth of sub-tree from the
current node greater than or equal to three. A simple tree matching algorithm is used here. Data
items are aligned after tree matching. All aligned data items are then linked in such a way that a
data item will point to its next matching data item. The output algorithm will put a linked data
into a relational table. A data structure used is linked list of one dimensional array which
represents columns. This data structure makes it easier to insert columns in appropriate location
for optional data items. All linked data items are put in the same column. A new row is started if
an item is being pointed to by another item in an earlier column.
DePTA [11] – This method proposes the algorithm of partial tree alignment technique for
aligning the extracted records. The intuition that the gap within a QRR is typically smaller than
that between QRRs is used to segment data records and to identify individual data records. The
data strings in the records are then aligned, for those data strings that can be aligned with
certainty, based on tree matching. The DOM tree is constructed from the HTML result page based
on the tags which covers the data values are returned from the search result page, which is
submitted by the user query. This step finds the data region by comparing tag strings associated
with individual nodes including descendants and combination of multiple adjacent nodes. Similar
nodes are labelled as data region. Generalized node is introduced to denote each similar
individual node and node combination. Adjacent generalized nodes form a data region. Gaps
between data records are used to eliminate false node combinations. Visual observations about
data records states that the gap between the data records in a data region should be no smaller
than any gap within a data record. Data records are identified from generalized nodes.
There are two cases in which data records are not in contiguous segment. Next, the Data Item
extractor is performed based on partial tree alignment technique to match the corresponding data
item or fields from all data records. The two sub-steps are Production of one rooted tag tree for
each data record. The subtrees of all data records are arranged into a single tree. Partial tree
alignment Tag trees of data records in each data region are aligned using partial alignment. This is
based on tree matching. No data item is involved in the matching process. Only tag nodes are
used for matching. Tree edit distance between two trees is a cost associated with a minimum set
of operations needed to transform A into B. Restricted matching algorithm called simple tree
matching is used which will produce maximum matching between two trees.
ViNTs [12] – This method uses both visual and tag features to learn a wrapper from a set of
training pages from a website. It first utilizes the visual data value similarity without considering
the tag structure to identify data value similarity regularities, denoted as data value similarity
lines, and then combines them with the HTML tag structure regularities to generate wrappers.
Both visual and non visual features are used to weight the relevance of different extraction rules.
For this method, the result page must contain at least four QRRs, and one no-result page is
required to build a wrapper. The input to the system is the URL of a search engine’s interface
5. International Journal on Natural Language Computing (IJNLC) Vol. 3, No.3, June 2014
97
page, which contains an HTML form used to accept user queries. The output of the system is a
wrapper for the search engine.
In this method, several result pages, each of which must contain at least four QRRs, and one no-
result page is required to build a wrapper. If the data records are distributed over multiple data
regions only the major data region is reported. It requires users to collect the training pages from
the website including the no-result page, which may not exist for many web databases because
they respond with records that are close to the query if no record matches the query exactly. The
pre learned wrapper usually fails when the format of the query result page changes. It requires no
result page. Hence, it is necessary for ViNTs to monitor format changes to the query result pages,
which is a difficult problem. Both visual and non visual features are used to weight the relevance
of different extraction rules. The final resulting wrapper is represented by a regular expression of
alternative horizontal separator tags (i.e., <HR> or <BR> <BR>), which segment descendants
into QRRs.
ViPER [13] – This method proposes the visual features for extracting the records from the query
result pages. It is a fully automated information extraction tool which works on the web page
containing at least two consecutive data records which exhibits some kind of structural and visual
similarity. ViPER extracts relevant data with respect to the user’s visual perception of the web
page. Then Multiple Sequence Alignment (MSA) method is used to align these relevant data
regions. Hence this method is not able to find the nested structure data. HTML documents can be
viewed as labelled unordered trees. A labelled unordered tree is a directed acyclic graph T = (V,
E, R, N) where V is sets of vertices, E is sets of edges, R is rooted and N is the label function N:
V X L where L is a string.
CTVS deals the Tag and Value similarity, for automatically extracting data from query result
pages by first identifying and segmenting the query result records (QRRs) in the query result
pages and then aligning the segmented QRRs in a table where the data values of the same
attribute are put into the same column. This method is that mainly it handles two cases, first when
QRRs are not contiguous, as the query result page often contains auxiliary information irrelevant
to the query such as a comment, recommendation, advertisement, navigational panels or
information related to hosting site of the search engine and second nested structure that may exist
in the QRRs. Also a new record alignment algorithm is designed which aligns the attributes in a
record, first pairwise and then holistically, by combining Tag and Data value similarity
information. CTVS (Combined Tag and Value Similarity) consists of following two-steps, to
extract the QRRs from a query result page .There are Record extraction and Record alignment. In
Record extraction, it identifies the QRRs (Query Result Records) in P and involves the following
steps: a) Tag tree construction, b) Data region identification, c) Record segmentation, d) Data
region merge, e) Query result section identification.
In Record alignment, it aligns the data values of the QRRs in P into a table so that data values for
the same attribute are aligned into the same table column. QRR alignment is performed by three-
step data alignment method that combines tag and value similarity. a) Pairwise QRR alignment -
It aligns the data values in a pair of QRRs to provide the evidence for how the data values should
be aligned among all QRRs. b) Holistic alignment - It aligns the data values in all the QRRs. c)
Nested structure processing – It identifies the nested structures that exist in the QRRs. Among the
above discussed web data extraction methods, CTVS can handle both non contiguous and nested
structure data but none of the method label assignment.
In related to label assignment, DeLa [6] is a wrapper tool which automatically extracts the data
from the web site and assigns meaningful labels to data. Complex search forms are used by this
method rather than using keywords to keep track of pages that querying back end database. DeLa
[6] often produces multiple patterns and it is hard to decide which is correct. It does not support
6. International Journal on Natural Language Computing (IJNLC) Vol. 3, No.3, June 2014
98
the non continuous query result records. It labels columns with labels only from the query result
page or query interface from the same website.
TISP [8] uses the labels that its finds pages that are from the same website and have similar
structures, when constructing a wrapper for a web page to annotate the data extraction result.
TISP++ [14] further augments TISP by generating OWL ontology for a web site. For each table
label, TISP++ generates an OWL class. The label name becomes the class name. If a label pairs
with an actual value, TISP++ generates an OWL data type property for the OWL class associated
with this label. After the OWL ontology is generated, TISP++ automatically annotates the pages
from this Web site with respect to the generated ontology and outputs it as an RDF file suitable
for querying using SPARQL. The limitation of TISP++ is that it only generates OWL ontology
for a single set of sibling pages from the same Web site and does not combine ontology generated
from different Web sites in a domain. If the generated ontology is unable to capture all the data
semantics of the site (e.g., when voluntary labels are not available in the Web pages), then when it
is applied to annotate the rest of the pages from the same Web site, there may still be some data
that cannot be labelled off.
Lu et al. [15] aggregates several annotators, most of which are based on the same heuristics as
used in the system [6]. One of the unique proposed annotators, schema value annotator, employs
an integrated interface schema and tries to match the data values with attributes in the “global”
schema. Once a match is discovered, the attribute name from the global schema can be used to
label the matched data values.
3. DATA EXTRACTION AND ALIGNMENT
A novel data extraction and alignment method called combined both tag and value similarity for
data extraction and alignment (CTVS [1]). It automatically extracts data from query result pages
by first identifying and segmenting the query result records (QRRs) in the query result pages and
then aligning the segmented QRRs into a table, in which the data values from the same attribute
are put into the same column. The architecture of the CTVS is shown in Figure 1.
The novel aspect of this method is that mainly it handles two cases, first when the QRR are not
contiguous, as the query result page often contains the irrelevant information such as comments,
advertisements, navigational panel or information related to hosting site of search engine and
second QRR may have nested structure data.

In Data Extraction Component, we use the following two-step methods, called Combining Tag
and Value Similarity (CTVS), to extract the QRRs from a query result page and align the record
using three alignment techniques namely pairwise, holistic and nested structure. CTVS consists of
following two-steps, to extract the QRRs from a query result page P.
1. Record extraction, identifies the QRRs (Query Result Records) in P and involves the following
steps.
(i) Tag tree construction
(ii) Data region identification
(iii) Record segmentation
(iv) Data region merge
(v) Query result section identification
2. Record alignment, aligns the data values of the QRRs in P into a table so that the data values
for the same attribute are aligned into the same table column. QRR alignment is performed by
three-step data alignment method that combines tag and value similarity.
(i) Pairwise QRR alignment
(ii) Holistic alignment
(iii) Nested structure processing
4. ONTOLOGY CONSTRUCTION
The goal of the ontology construction component is to build ontology for a domain using the
query interfaces and query result pages from Websites within the domain. The ontology
construction comprised of four modules. They are query result pages, query interfaces, primary
labeling, matching. Each and every module will be described in detail.
Pseudo code for ontology construction:
Step1: Analyse the query interface
Step 2: Analyse the query result page
Step 3: Data wrapping method
Step 4: Primary labeling based on step 1 and step 2
Step 5: Matching
Step 6: Construct domain ontology
1) Query Interface Analysis: Some Web sites support the advance search, shown in Fig.2.
Compared with keyword search, detailed query interface has more attributes to allow users to
specify more detailed query conditions. Various attributes are in the form of combining a label
with a text/selection list component shown below. Some labels in the query interface integrate
with attribute in the format of ‘Title’, ‘Format’, which is in the web database. In few query result
pages, attribute value (along with label) also appear in the result page.
2) Query Result Page Analysis: For a website, the same templates are constructed for displaying
the query result page. So, all result pages have the same navigation bar, advertisements and
decorative information. The related data displayed in the result page for the given query appear in
a specific area. For instance, Fig. 3 shows the part of the query result page specifying the attribute
“Title” in the interface page. We can observe several phenomena as follows: Different data
records almost have the same number of attributes, and their structure is also similar to all data
8. International Journal on Natural Language Computing (IJNLC) Vol. 3, No.3, June 2014
100
records. In data records, font colour and font size of attribute values belonging to the same
concept often share common features.
Fig.2: Example of Advanced Query Interface from amazon.com
Fig. 3: Example for query result page from amazon.com
3) Data Wrapping: The web data extracted from the query result pages for a given query by a
user is obtained, method called Data Wrapping. Precisely, CTVS shows better performance
among all other automatic web data extraction methods. Hence the same method can be used for
Data Wrapping.
4) Primary Labeling: To assign labels to the columns of the data table containing the extracted
query result record (i.e., to understand the meaning of the data values), the heuristics information
proposed in Wang and Lochovsky [2003] is used.
5) Matching: A matcher identifies the matching between query interface and the query result
tables from the query result pages from different websites within the same domain.
6) Ontology Construction: Finally, the ontology construction step uses the matching results to
construct the ontology.
7) Annotation: Assign the label values to the extracted data records based on the constructed
domain ontology.

5. EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS
Our annotation method is used to annotate the extracted query result records based on the
domain ontology. The CTVS data extraction method is used to extract the query result records
from the query result page and align the records in the table format. Then annotate the query
result records based on the domain-ontology. This method is classified into major modules as
follows: Data Wrapping, Primary Labeling, Matching, Ontology Construction and Label
Assignment. The Data wrapping method uses the CTVS module such as Tag Tree Construction,
Data Region Identification, Record Segmentation, Query Result Section Identification, and
Record Alignment.
The test sample is selected from TEL-8 dataset that UIUC University provides to perform the
experiment. From the data set we selected three domains such as Automobile, and Books; in each
domain query interfaces, the query condition has been typed. The query result pages are obtained
manually. Suppose, if multiple pages are returned for a single query condition then the first page
will be selected for our experiments. The collected web sites are manually classified in
accordance with three categories listed as below:
(i) A Website has Multiple Record Pages (MRP)
(ii) A Website has Single Record Pages (SRP)
(iii) A Website has Empty Record Pages (ERP)
A. Data Set
There were totally 40 web sites collected from two domains such as Automobiles and Books, the
statistics of data records distribution in these web sites were shown as table I. Since the typed
query conditions were comparatively appropriate, there were less SRP and ERP in the collection.
Moreover, there were more data records returned from Book domain, while less from Automobile
domain; this phenomenon was actually determined by features of domain.
For each round, 10 out of the 20 Web sites for each domain are used as training Web sites to
obtain the domain ontology and the remaining 10Web sites are test web sites. Since Training
Web Sites does not required for CTVS and DeLa methods.

In this table 1, each web site contains number of query result record pages which are classified
as follows: MRP, SRP, and ERP. Where, MRP represents multiple record pages which are
relevant to the query condition. The number of SRP represents the Single Record page which has
single relevant record to the query condition and other information such as advertisements, other
information’s etc., ERP represents the empty result page which is irrelevant to the query
condition.

B. Performance measures
In order to evaluate our effectiveness of our data extraction method with attribute labelling we
adopt precision and recall and F-Measure.
1) Precision
Precision is the ability to retrieve only relevant and discard the irrelevant records. Precision is the
percentage of correctly annotated data values (Ca) over all annotated data values (Oa).

2) Recall
The recall value on the other hand expresses the number of retrieved relevant records out of all
existing records. The recall is the ratio of correctly annotated data values (Ca) by over all data
values (Od).

6. CONCLUSION
This paper has summarized in detail about the various existing data extraction and annotation
methods. The web data extraction and annotation method and their drawbacks also have been
discussed in the related work section. Among all other existing data extraction methods,
Combining Tag and Value Similarity (CTVS) overcomes many of the drawbacks and gives high
accuracy for the data extraction. The CTVS method is used to automatically extract and align the
QRRs from a query result page. The data extraction using CTVS method yields more accurate
precision and recall. But it still suffers from identifying an attribute in the query result table. To
the enhancement of the existing technique, the label assignment (annotation) for the extracted
query result record through the ontology domain is integrated to achieve the high performance.
The overall performance is achieved by F-Measure metric using Precision and Recall.
