Wrapping HTML Tables into XML

HTML tables are information rich and are used frequently in HTML documents, but they are mainly presentation-oriented and are not really suited for database applications. To wrap HTML tables, in this paper, we introduce a conceptual model for HTML tables, and based on it, we present a new approach to wrap HTML tables into XML documents. It can automatically convert basic HTML tables, nested tables, composite HTML table and the tables without marked headings, into XML documents.
