INTEGRATING THE DEEP WEB WITH THE SHALLOW WEB


Michael Stonebraker
Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science

Beyond the static web pages found by conventional search engines, lies the “deep web” of pages dynamically generated from data entered into forms. This project will provide sophisticated search capability for the deep web. The deep web includes sites such as most travel and shopping sites, weather.com, 411.com, mapquest and currency converters. This project will provide a sophisticated integration of the deep web with the shallow web. This would provide a more sophisticated search capability to consumers looking for deep web information.
