Related Work

There are several projects working towards semi-automatic generation of wrappers for Internet information sources. However, very few has considered the issues of developing a wrapper repository for sharing wrappers among developers and users. A closely related project is the RISE web site maintained by Ion Muslea at ISI (www.isi.edu/ muslea/RISE) [9]. RISE provides a public repository of online information sources used in Information Extraction Tasks. In contrast, to the wrapper repository WPstore proposed in this paper, RISE provide only mechanisms for wrapper developers to register their wrappers at RISE site. No facilities are provided to help the wrapper users to browse and select the wrappers of interest and download the wrapper to a desirable location.
