Abstract

Web data extraction is an enabling technique in the search computing scenario. In this chapter, we first review the state of the art in wrapper technologies focusing on how wrapper generators can be used to create unified services that integrate data from Web Applications and Web services in various domains. Next, we describe the Lixto approach and we present the Lixto Suite as one example of Web Process Integration. Finally, application areas and future challenges and the usage of wrapper technologies in the search computing context is discussed.
