Information aggregation using the caméléon# web wrapper

Abstract

Caméléon# is a web data extraction and management tool that provides information aggregation with advanced capabilities that are useful for developing value-added applications and services for electronic business and electronic commerce. To illustrate its features, we use an airfare aggregation example that collects data from eight online sites, including Travelocity, Orbitz, and Expedia. This paper covers the integration of Camélé on# with commercial database management systems, such as MS SQL Server, and XML query languages, such as XQuery. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2005.
