  1. Schema Matching and Data Extraction over HTML Tables Cui Tao Data Extraction Research Group Department of Computer Science Brigham Young University supported by NSF

  2. Introduction • Many tables on the Web • How to integrate data stored in different tables? • Detect the table of interest • Form attribute-value pairs (adjust if necessary) • Do extraction • Infer mappings from extraction patterns

  3. ? ProblemDetecting The Table of Interest

  4. Problem Different schemas • Different source table schemas • {Run #, Yr, Make, Model, Tran, Color, Dr} • {Make, Model, Year, Colour, Price, Auto, Air Cond., AM/FM, CD} • {Vehicle, Distance, Price, Mileage} • {Year, Make, Model, Trim, Invoice/Retail, Engine, Fuel Economy} • Target database schema {Car, Year, Make, Model, Mileage, Price, PhoneNr}, {Car, Feature}

  5. ProblemAttribute is Value

  6. ? ? Problem Attribute-Value is Value

  7. ProblemValue is not Value

  8. ProblemFactored Values

  9. ProblemSplit Values

  10. ProblemMerged Values

  11. Table extending over several pages Single-Column Table (formatted as list) ProblemInformation Behind Links

  12. Solution • Detect the table of interest • Form attribute-value pairs (adjust if necessary) • Do extraction • Infer mappings from extraction patterns

  13. SolutionDetect The Table of Interest • ‘Real’ table test • Same number of values • Table size • Attribute test • Density measure test # of ontology extracted values total # of values in the table

  15. SolutionReplace Boolean Values

  16. SolutionForm Attribute-Value Pairs <Make, Honda>, <Model, Civic EX>, <Year, 1995>, <Colour, White>, <Price, $6300>, <Auto, Auto>, <Air Cond., Air Cond.>, <AM/FM, AM/FM>

  17. SolutionAdjust Attribute-Value Pairs <Make, Honda>, <Model, Civic EX>, <Year, 1995>, <Colour, White>, <Price, $6300>, <Auto, Auto>, <Air Cond., Air Cond.>, <AM/FM, AM/FM>

  18. Unstructured and semi-structured: concatenate < Single attribute value pairs: Pair them together <Price, $7,988>, <Mileage, 63,168 miles>, <Body Type, Car>, <Body Style, 4 DR Sedan>, <Transmission, Automatic>, <Engine, 3.0 L V-6>, <Doors, 4>, <Fuel Type, Gas>, <Stock Number, 22764>, <VIN, 1FAFP52U2WA139879> List: Mark the beginning and the end > SolutionAdd Information Hidden Behind Links

  19. SolutionInferred Mapping Creation {Car, Year, Make, Model, Mileage, Price, PhoneNr}, {Car, Feature}

  20. Each row is a car. SolutionInferred Mapping Creation {Car, Year, Make, Model, Mileage, Price, PhoneNr}, {Car, Feature}

  21. SolutionInferred Mapping Creation {Car, Year, Make, Model, Mileage, Price, PhoneNr}, {Car, Feature}

  22. SolutionInferred Mapping Creation {Car, Year, Make, Model, Mileage, Price, PhoneNr}, {Car, Feature}

  23. SolutionInferred Mapping Creation {Car, Year, Make, Model, Mileage, Price, PhoneNr}, {Car, Feature}

  24. SolutionInferred Mapping Creation {Car, Year, Make, Model, Mileage, Price, PhoneNr}, {Car, Feature}

  25. SolutionInferred Mapping Creation {Car, Year, Make, Model, Mileage, Price, PhoneNr}, {Car, Feature}

  26. Experimental Results Car Advertisement Application domain • 10 “training” tables • 100% of the 57 mappings (no false mappings) • 94.6% precision of the values in linked pages (5.4% false declarations) • 50 test tables • 94.7% of the 300 mappings (no false mappings) • On the bases of sampling 3,000 values in linked pages, we obtained 97% recall and 86% precision

  27. Other Applications • Cell Phone Plan Application domain • Soccer Player Application domain

  28. Contribution • Provides an approach to extract information automatically from HTML tables • Suggests a different way to solve the problem of schema matching
