Heterogeneous Deep Web Data Extraction Using Ontology Evolution

This paper proposed a complex ontology evolution based method of extracting data, and also completely designed an extraction system, which consists of four important components: Resolver, Extractor, Consolidator and the ontology construction components. The system gives priority to the construction of mini-ontology. When the user submits query keywords to the deep web query interface, the returned result will pass through the prior three components; after that, the final execution result will be returned to user in a unified form. This paper adopted an extraction method that is different from the general ontology extraction. More specifically, the ontology used in extraction here is dynamic evolution, which can adapt various data source better. Experimental results proved that this method could effectively extract the data in the query result pages.
