Abstract :
WWW Information Collection, Collaging and Programming (WICCAP) system is a software system for the generation of logical views of web resources, and the extraction of desired information in the form of a structured document. It is designed to enable people to obtain information of interests in a simple and effective manner as well as to make information from the WWW accessible to applications so as to afford automation, inter-operation and Web-awareness among services. A key factor in making this system useful in practice is that it provides tools to automate and facilitate the process of constructing logical representation of websites, to identify and define information of interest, and to retrieving them. In this paper we present the design of the WICCAP system and its two main components, namely Mapping Wizard and Network Extraction Agent
