COMPASS: A Concept-based Web Search Engine for HTML, XML, and Deep Web Data
Summary: COMPASS unifies keyword simplicity with XML-style expressive queries over heterogeneous HTML/XML, Web Services, and Deep Web sources. Semantic concept–value relationships and link traversal enable relevance-ranked answers assembled across documents. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
