Abstract

We describe an Internet agent which gathers information from the Web in order to maintain a local database and ensure its currency. As a specific application, we detail an agent maintaining a database with information about academic contacts, their projects and publications. Agent operation is driven by an extraction profile which specifies what and how information is to be extracted from Web documents. The agent detects new and updated information and, when the confidence level is above a user-specified threshold, automatically updates the database accordingly.
