Abstract
Abstract. The volume of structured data on the Web has grown considerably in the recent past. In contrast to unstructured (textual) documents, which can be searched through simple keyword-based interfaces, the presence of structure enables rich queries to be posed against Web data. In this paper we present a search engine designed for querying structured information sources on the Web and show how our system can support on-the-fly, complex queries over content published in hundreds HTML tables. 1.
