An XML-based Wrapper Generator for Web Information Extraction

Summary: XWrap is an XML-enabled, semi-automatic wrapper generator for web information extraction that uses page formatting to infer semantic structure. Declarative, rule-based extraction; it generates source-specific wrappers and XML templates and supports interactive refinement through phase-based construction to reduce manual effort.
