Effective Web Data Extraction With Standard XML Technologies 
An ideal data extraction process is able to digest target Web databases that are visible only as HTML pages, and create a local, identical replica of those databases as a result. A comprehensive data extraction process needs to deal with such roadblocks such as session identifiers, HTML forms, and client-side JavaScript, and data integration problems such as incompatible datasets and vocabularies, and missing and conflicting data. Proper data extraction also requires a solid data validation and error recovery service to handle data extraction failures, which are unavoidable. This paper describes ANDES, a software framework that makes significant advances in solving these problems and provides a platform for building a production-quality Web data extraction process.
