Abstract

In the recent years, the amount of available information in the Web is growing. Thereby, the search of pertinent information through those large documents has become a difficult task. That’s why, we need to develop information extraction systems in order to facilitate the treatment and the representation of data according to the user’s need. These systems should adopt an extraction approach for its implementation. In this paper, we provide an overview of the basic information extraction (IE) approaches used in the developed systems. We survey a specific class of IE approaches based on semantics, due to the importance of semantic processing of the data.
