HTML table wrapper based on table components
Tables are a model for data representation in the internet. Many approaches to
harvesting table data are executed by doing the copy-paste. However, this method will be a
problem if there is a huge amount of tables and they come from many internet sources. This
paper presents an approach to prepare the table area and to wrap or extract table components in
cells and property from HTML tables. This paper discusses how the approach works by testing
Algorithms 1, 2, and 3. Algorithm 1 is used to determine the actual number of columns and rows
of the table, and Algorithm 2 is used to determine the boundary line of the property. At the end of
the process of extraction, Algorithm 3 is implemented to get content of the table. Tests were
conducted at 100 tabular HTML format. The result of F-measure for Algorithm 1 is 100.00%,
for Algorithm 2 97.67% and for Algorithm 3 94.91%
