Ontology plays an important role in locating Domain-Specific Deep Web contents, therefore, this paper presents a novel framework WFF for efficiently locating Domain-Specific Deep Web databases based on focused crawling and ontology by constructing Web Page Classifier(WPC), Form Structure Classifier(FSC) and Form Content Classifier(FCC) in a hierarchical fashion. Firstly, WPC discovers potentially interesting pages based on ontology-assisted focused crawler. Then, FSC analyzes the interesting pages and determines whether these pages subsume searchable forms based on structural characteristics. Lastly, FCC identifies searchable forms that belong to a given domain in the semantic level, and stores these URLs of Domain- Specific searchable forms to a database. Through a detailed experimental evaluation, WFF framework not only simplifies discovering process, but also effectively determines Domain-Specific databases.

Doi: 10.4156/jcit.vol5.issue8.23 This paper proposed a complex ontology evolution based method of extracting data, and also completely designed an extraction system, which consists of four important components: Resolver, Extractor, Consolidator and the ontology construction components. The system gives priority to the construction of mini-ontology. When the user submits query keywords to the deep web query interface, the returned result will pass through the prior three components; after that, the final execution result will be returned to user in a unified form. This paper adopted an extraction method that is different from the general ontology extraction. More specifically, the ontology used in extraction here is dynamic evolution, which can adapt various data source better. Experimental results proved that this method could effectively extract the data in the query result pages
