Abstract

This paper proposes a method for retrieving Web pages according to objects described in them. To achieve that goal, ontologies extracted from HTML tables are used as queries. The system retrieves Web pages containing the type of objects described by a given ontology. We propose a simple and efficient algorithm for this task and show its performance on real-world Web sites.
