There exist numerous online data sources on the Web. It is desirable to facilitate end-users to build XML-based wrappers from the data sources for further composition and reuse. This paper describes Grubber, a tool that allows end-users to develop XML-based wrappers from these data sources with just a few mouse clicks and keystrokes. An active learning algorithm was proposed and implemented to reduce end-users' effort. Experimental results on real-world sites show that the algorithm can achieve a high degree of effectiveness. Compared with other similar tools, Grubber includes a number of usability improvements to lower the barrier of usage and we believe it is suitable for mass end-users to build situational applications. |
