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%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
