Abstract

According to several reports, the deep web contains very specific and high quality information, and it increases day by day. Recently, some internet companies like Google or Yahoo have shown an interest in this topic. There are various techniques for accessing the deep web using crawling and metasearch. From an integration point of view, the most interesting proposals are based on SQL-like languages. In this paper, we focus on a particular framework which is able to query search forms in a SQL-like way. As a proof of concepts, we propose an implementation and comment on its main drawbacks.
