Design and Implementation of a Facility for Wandering and Manipulating the Structure of On-Line Data

Abstract

As the amount of information on the Web is getting bigger, creating a new tool to help people to find the needed information easily became one of the most important tasks. At the same time, a new trend called Mashup attracts attention because there is a lot of valuable data on-line. In this paper, we propose a new approach that enables users to collect the required information by exploring on the Web and do Mashup easily. The features of our tool are to be able to search information on the Web in consideration of html structures (e.g. table tag), mix up some data from different home pages, and manipulate data on the Web.
