Comparison of approaches for gathering data from the web for technology trend analysis

Ayse Kaya Firat, Wei Lee Woon, Stuart Madnick

We are investigating trend extrapolation using historical data from academic publications to forecast future technology directions. Many sources of academic information on the Web (e.g., Google Scholar, Scirus) provide a wealth of relevant information, yet they are not structured for programmatic access. We can use Web wrappers, programs that can harvest text data from Web pages and present them in a structured format, to overcome this problem
