Entity Search Engine: Towards Agile Best-Effort Information Integration over the Web
Summary: Proposes an "entity search engine" for agile, best-effort integration of structured entities from surface and deep Web by locating sources and extracting structured data embedded in unstructured result pages. Advocates a hybrid IR–DB approach—scalable source discovery plus on‑the‑fly extraction and integration (building on MetaQuerier)—to support online structured entity queries.
