Main information
Extraction and Transformation of Data from Semi-Structured Text
June 2007
Raminhos07:thesis
The Extraction, Transformation and Loading (ETL) problematic is becoming progressively less specific to the traditional data-warehousing domain and is being extended to the processing of textual data. The World Wide Web (WWW) appears as a major source of textual information, following a human-readable semi-structured format, referring to multiple domains, some of them highly complex. Traditional ETL approaches following the development of specific source code for each data source and based on multiple domain / computer-science experts interactions, become an inadequate solution, time consuming and prone to error. A novel approach to ETL is proposed, based on its decomposition in two phases: ETD (Extraction, Transformation and Data Delivery) followed by IL (Integration and Loading). The ETD proposal is supported by a declarative language for expressing ETD statements and a graphical application for interacting with the domain expert.
