Extraction of Hidden Semantics from Web Pages

One of the main limitation when accessing web is the lack of explicit structure, whose presence may help in understanding data semantics. Here, an approach to extract logical schema from web pages is presented, defining a page model where its contents is divided into "logical" sections, i.e. parts of a page each collecting related information. This model aims to take into account both traditional, static HTML pages, as well as dynamic pages content.
