Paper Abstract:
|
Federated search techniques improve search experience in a number of application areas, especially consumer product
search. Existing systems for consumer product search often depend on one database only or federate multiple
homogeneous information sources like Web Services of online shopping malls. We investigate possibilities for federated
product search using heterogeneous sources like manufacturer websites and the Deep Web. The architecture and a Ruby
on Rails prototype implementation are presented with emphasis on information extraction from semi-structured websites. |
