Abstract
The World Wide Web is the richest source of information today available, but only a small set of these data are interesting for users. The overload of information can produce a waste of time rather than a real benefit. Moreover, information is spread all over the Web and its structure makes difficult to extract relevant data in automated ways. This paper presents News Miner (NM) a tool for news extraction, integration, and presentation. The discussion highlights information retrieval and integration issues based on users’ preferences. A case study presents news integration collecting data from three search engines.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
