Abstract

AbstractTable understanding methods extract, transform, and interpret the information contained in tabular data embedded in documents/files of different formats. Such automatic understanding would allow to exploit tabular information with the aim of accurately answering queries, or integrating heterogeneous repositories of information in a common knowledge base, or exchanging information among different sources. The purpose of this survey is to provide a comprehensive analysis of the research efforts so far devoted to the problem of table understanding and to describe systems that support the transformation of heterogeneous tables into meaningful information.This article is categorized under: Application Areas > Data Mining Software Tools Technologies > Data Preprocessing Technologies > Structure Discovery and Clustering
