What is a data-driven Web site?
The Internet is full of Web sites that require the Web site creators
to edit the HTML every time a content change needs to be made.
With so much to do to make changes, it is no wonder there are
so many static Web sites on the Internet!
A data-driven Web site, on the other hand, changes
automatically because it draws its content from external dynamic
data sources. The data sources may come from:
- MySQL
- Interbase
- Microsoft SQL Server
- Microsoft Access
- Oracle
- Other databases
- XML Web services
A well-architected, data-driven Web site is
much easier to maintain than a static Web site because most content
changes require no change to the HTML behind the Web site. Instead,
changes are made to the data source that drives the Web site,
and the Web site automatically adjusts to reflect those changes.
With a data-driven Web site, you connect to and present live data
from a variety of data sources. Web site visitors upload the data
from your Web site by using a Web browser.
Sometimes the data-driven Web site need integration
the data from other websites for example CNN RSS news, Amazon
product prices etc.
You can use Web2DB service.
Web2DB is a web
data extraction service. It takes unstructured data
from web html pages and converting it into structured records.
