This study introduces a semi-automated system for integrating diverse online data sources, enabling automatic data retrieval from the web. This approach enhances the internet's utility for scientific research by overcoming data integration challenges.

Area of Science:

  • Computer Science
  • Bioinformatics
  • Data Science

Background:

  • The internet is a vast, heterogeneous data repository, posing significant challenges for data integration.
  • Realizing the internet's full potential as a scientific research tool requires effective methods for accessing and integrating diverse data sources.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a semi-automated, object-oriented programming system for integrating web-based resources.
  • To demonstrate the feasibility of using existing internet standards for automated data retrieval.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a system that exploits internet standards like HTML, CGI (Common Gateway Interface), and Java.
  • The system scans web interfaces and employs a rule-based approach to generate Java code for automatic data retrieval.
