Web and Semantic Web Query Languages

A number of techniques have been developed to facilitate powerful data retrieval on the Web and Semantic Web. Three categories of Web query languages can be distinguished, according to the format of the data they can retrieve: XML, RDF and Topic Maps. This article introduces the spectrum of languages falling into these categories and summarises their salient aspects. The languages are introduced using common sample data and query types. Key aspects of the query languages considered are stressed in a conclusion

A performance of comparative study for semi-structured web data extraction model

The extraction of information from multi-sources of web is an essential yet complicated step for data analysis in multiple domains. In this paper, we present a data extraction model based on visual segmentation, DOM tree and JSON approach which is known as Wrapper Extraction of Image using DOM and JSON (WEIDJ) for extracting semi-structured data from biodiversity web. The large number of information from multiple sources of web which is image’s information will be extracted using three different approach; Document Object Model (DOM), Wrapper image using Hybrid DOM and JSON (WHDJ) and Wrapper Extraction of Image using DOM and JSON (WEIDJ). Experiments were conducted on several biodiversity website. The experiment results show that WEIDJ approach promising results with respect to time analysis values. WEIDJ wrapper has successfully extracted greater than 100 images of data from the multi-source web biodiversity of over 15 different websites
