Abstract

Deep Web sites expose data from a database, whose conceptual model remains hidden. Having access to that model is mandatory to perform several tasks, such as integrating different web sites; extracting information from the web unsupervisedly; or creating ontologies. In this paper, we propose a technique to discover the conceptual model behind a web site in the Deep Web, using a statistical approach to discover relationships between entities. Our proposal is unsupervised, not requiring the user to have expert knowledge; and it does not focus on a single view on the database, instead it integrates all views containing entities and relationships that are exposed in the web site.
