The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Mining data records in Web pages (2003, methodology): “EXPERIMENT RESULTS We evaluate our system (MDR) and compare it with two state-ofthe-art systems, OMINI [2], and IEPAD [3].”
Web data extraction based on partial tree alignment (2005, methodology): “[8] proposes a string matching method.”
Fully automatic wrapper generation for search engines (2005, methodology): “Several automated or nearly automated IE methods have been proposed recently and the most representative ones are Omini [5], the method in [12], IEPAD [6], MDR [20], RoadRunner [10], EXALG [2], DeLa [26], PickUp [8].”
A Survey of Web Information Extraction Systems (2006, background): “IEPAD is one of the first IE systems that generalize extraction patterns from unlabeled Web pages [31].”
Extracting structured data from Web pages (2003, background): “• IEPAD [4]: (14 collections) These represent all the collections obtained from IEPAD site [14].”
Data extraction and label assignment for web databases (2003, methodology): “Since such information only exists in the back-end databases of the various notebook vendors, the user has to go to the web site of each notebook vendor, send his/her queries, extract the relevant information from the result web pages and compare or integrate the results manually.”
