"A portal for e-Commerce using Wrapper"

Supervised by Professor F Ciravegna

Abstract

E-commerce has been burgeoned and boomed into a mass state and its convenience gives people unprecedented business activity experience. Though the achievement in this field is startling, there is a trend to coalesce the semantic meaning of different E-com sites with same interest. This project aims to build up software being able to digest two websites' semantic meaning and present a combined view or result to the user. This approach of information integration would dramatically add the ease of price comparison and product search and provide a more generals view of multiple online stores' resources.
