Abstract
This paper addresses the problem of finding and extracting academic information from conference Web pages, then organizing academic information as ontologies, and finally generating academic linked data by matching these ontologies. The main contributions include (1) a topic-crawling method and lightweight crawling method based on search engine is presented. Crawling seeds, relevant websites filter, and crawling update strategy are discussed. (2) A new vision-based approach for extracting academic information is proposed. It first segments Web pages into text blocks and then classifies these text blocks into predefined categories. The initial classification results are improved by post-processing. Finally, academic information is extracted from the classified text blocks. (3) A global ontology is used to describe the background domain knowledge, and then the extracted academic information of each website is organized as local ontologies. Finally, academic linked data is generated by matching all local ontologies.
