Alibaba.com selects Knowlesys Web Data Mining System for Marketing Department to Collect Product List, Company List, and Advertisement List

SHENZHEN, CHINA - Aug 5, 2008 Knowlesys today announced that alibaba.com has chosen Knowlesys, a web data collection firm, as their web data mining system provider. They will be providing data mining for the marketing department, collecting various types of listings including products, companies, and advertisements. Knowlesys employs a specific crawling system that offers extraction of unstructured web data into a structured database, thus allowing clients to more easily create spreadsheets and graphs of the desired information. The benefits are obvious. In this age of abundant information at our fingertips nobody has time enough to sift through the billions of web pages available for the information they need. Why not hire someone else to do it? Better yet, why not hire someone else with an automated program to do it?

Let’s take a brief look at what a web crawler is. A web crawler, also known as a web spider or web robot, is a package of code sent out by data collection agencies like Knowlesys designed to browse the web in a systematic manner, accessing pages or types of pages as specified by the user. They can be used for a great number of functions, including but not limited to data collection (they can look up specific fields like e-mail addresses and phone numbers, and types of data like text or video files), web site maintenance (by accessing and viewing links and images, and fixing broken ones), and are used by search engines to access, index, and rank pages as search results.

What does Knowlesys have that their competition doesn’t? They’ve got the KWDMS, the Knowlesys Web Data Mining System. This software was developed over file years, and is one of the most powerful web information extraction systems available today. It boasts a stratified structure, a loosely coupled module design, and is comprised of multiple subsystems. If that jargon didn’t make any sense to you, just trust us when we say that it packs a punch.

The Knowlesys Web Data Mining System is capable of extracting data from several different types of websites. It can extract field data from semi-structured and non-structured sites, but also picks up information like e-mails and profile information as it goes. It logs multimedia files, text, URLs, and much more. It then compiles this information to a database to be used however the client desires, be it for marketing, research, or personal use.
