Abstract

Tables in Web pages are the main source of knowledge graphs because they contain summarised information. Since there are various ways to represent information in web tables, it is not easy to extract information efficiently. This paper proposes a method for extracting information from structured and unstructured web pages and a method for converting the extracted information into a knowledge graph. In particular, in order to construct a Korean knowledge graph, this paper introduces a method for extracting large table data from web pages that are written in Korean and expressing it in a graph.
