Query Capabilities Extraction from Web Query Interfaces
Overview
This task extracts the query capabilities presented in a query interface. One of
the fundamental challenges in interacting with the deep Web is to understand query interfaces - search forms to
access their backend databases. Each query interface presents the query capabilities of
the underlying deep Web source, i.e., its supported query conditions. The goal
of this task is thus to automatically extract the query capabilities represented
by a query form.
