Web Extraction

Web Extraction is a process by which a web data extraction service collects unstructured website data from the Internet and restructures it into usable formats, in most cases converting it into reportable data records. To retrieve valuable information, the client for said services provides the parameters by which the web extraction engine runs, including what online sectors should be searched, what information is required and in what format the data should be output. The data is, in most cases, configured into a searchable database that can then be used in whatever business case, web traffic or use-case analysis is required by the client. It can potentially save hundreds of manual hours of website searching and data mining.

Web Extration

What is web extration?

Web extration is the collection of relevant data from web sites that is then stored in a data base to be used by a variety of people. This type of information can be used to build a data base of medical conditions, research topics, and more. The information is gathered and sorted by a software program that used "bots" to crawl web pages. This information can then be sorted and put into proper categories for us. Many professional agencies use these types of programs for their data base. An example could be the Web MD site, its a collection of medical conditions, their symptoms and what type of treatment is recommended. Similar programs are used by Police departments, fire departments and others.
