Focus Group: Web-based Systems

(Prof. Bizer)

The Web-based Systems group conducts research on methods for integrating data from large numbers of data sources in the context of the open Web and in corporate data lakes. Our research includes areas such as entity matching, schema matching, table annotation, information extraction, and data discovery. Our current work focuses on utilizing large language models and LLM-based agents for data integration tasks. We apply the developed methods to integrate product data from large numbers of e-shops and to construct knowledge graphs such as DBpedia. The empirical research of the group includes monitoring the adoption of schema.org annotations on the public Web by regularly extracting structured data from large Web corpora.
