Corpora: IE into MUC-style templates for resumes

[bulicny at lhsl.com]

I should have said to look at WhizBang Labs (www.whizbang.com) rather than
FlipDog.com (www.flipdog.com).   FlipDog is a client/demonstration site for
WhizBang Labs' technology.

                          WhizBang! Labs has developed software that builds
application-specific
                          databases by automatically finding and extracting
user-defined content from
                          an unlimited number of Web pages located anywhere on
the internet. The
                          company's proprietary software:

                             1.Crawls the Web, searching for and identifying new
 domains
                             2.Classifies pages in each domain, identifying
those that contain the
                               user defined target data
                             3.Captures the target data, extracting it from the
pages it has found and
                               classified, whether that target data is embedded
in the text or stored
                               behind forms
                             4.Compiles the extracted data, storing it in a
relational database where it
                               can then be searched, sorted, filtered, and
otherwise manipulated
                               with traditional Relational Database Management
System (RDBMS)
                               tools, either directly or through a public or
private portal

It's been a while since I participated in MUC and have only passively
followed its progress, but I seem to recall that someone (perhaps
several) has a commercial program for doing information extraction for
resumes, extracting data into template fields.  Is anyone aware of such
a system?  I don't want to reinvent the wheel.

Thanks,
        Ken
