Further on the information extraction idea, consider what the SIMILE
team at MIT are doing... http://simile.mit.edu
The lower-case semantic web is gaining a lot of momentum these days,
and I'm a strong proponent and student of it at the moment. Scraping
rich information from a site is certainly reasonably pragmatic, but
it is also highly fragile. SIMILE's Piggy Bank has a scraper
facility. In an more ideal world, computer shops, book stores,
libraries, and anyone with data to share would publish it in a
reusable and structured way (RDF seems to me to be the best way to do
this). Merging a full-text search engine with structured
information, though, is yet another tricky thing that I am myself
working with at the moment.
I'd love to have more discussions along these lines.

Hi Jack,
I've been doing research the last few days and I think that once
successfully implemented, an information extraction system should
be able to
extract information from various sources. I've started reading
pattern/context free grammar/ontology which I think will be the
core of such
a system. I intend to index computer shops.

Hi Cuong.
I am going to build private book search engine. And I am face the same
problem.
Could you describe more about the information you want to extract and
the website?

Hi all,
Does anyone have experience with designing web information
extraction such
as shopbots/pricebots? I'm currently doing research on this topic
and want
to integrate Nutch. A few guidelines from anyone who has designed
this
type
of systems will really be helpful to me.
