Tony Loton launched LOTONtech as a vehicle for researching and developing innovative software solutions. He developed the WebDataKit: a Java 2 solution comprising an API and a Structured Query Language designed specifically for the automatic extraction of HTML and XML from web sources. Tony's early Java web mining ideas have been featured previously as a case study contribution to "Professional Java Data programming" (Wrox Press). This book takes the ideas much further, with brand new material.
