Abstract
We present a system for searching, collecting, and integrating Web-resident data. The system consists of five tools, where each tool provides a specific functionality aimed at solving one aspect of the complex task of using and managing Web data. Each tool can be used in a stand-alone mode, in combination with the other tools, or even in conjunction with other systems. Together, the tools offer a wide range of capabilities that overcome many of the limitations in existing systems for harnessing Web data. The paper describes each tool, possible ways of combining the tools, and the architecture of the combined system.
