PackRat: Collecting MicroFormats
Fall 07, 6.830 Database Systems — PackRat is a tool for collecting and browsing Microformats found on the web. It acts as a structured bookmarking tool which records not just the page title and url, but all of the structured data found on the page. For example, marked up contact information (e.g. name, address, phone number) or citation information (author, journal, year) can be stored and used later to look up the corresponding web pages or to use the information as is.
