Le stand Encyclopædia Universalis au Salon de l’éducation, à Paris, en 2004 (SIMON ISABELLE/SIPA) La société Encyclopædia Universalis est en dépôt de bilan, annonce Le Monde. Le tribunal administratif de Nanterre l’a placée en redressement judiciaire le 30 octobre dernier pour une période de six mois. Une nouvelle qui pincera le cœur des privilégiés qui possèdent une encyclopédie (pour ma part, elle constitua un cadeau de naissance et m’apparut toute mon enfance comme la preuve objective que le savoir était intimidant), et laissera dans l’indifférence ceux qui pensaient qu’elle était déjà morte depuis longtemps. L’Encyclopædia Universalis n’est pas morte, mais ça sent le roussi. Le journal du soir analyse la situation sur le plan économique : les investissements répétés de son propriétaire Jacqui Safra, via la maison mère Britannica ; les tentatives de nouveau modèle (encyclopédie en ligne sur abonnement, commercialisation des fonds aux institutions scolaires), etc.

Hook into Wikipedia using Java and the MediaWiki API The Mediawiki API makes it possible for web developers to access, search and integrate all Wikipedia content into their applications. Given that Wikipedia is the ultimate online encyclopedia, there are dozens of use cases in which this might be useful. I used to post a lot of articles about using the webservice APIS of third party sites on this blog. Database download Wikipedia offers free copies of all available content to interested users.

Ways to process and use Wikipedia dumps – Prashanth Ellina Wikipedia is a superb resource for reference (taken with a pinch of salt of course). I spend hours at a time spidering through its pages and always come away amazed at how much information it hosts. In my opinion this ranks amongst the defining milestones of mankind’s advancement.

Web scraping Web scraping, web harvesting, or web data extraction is data scraping used for extracting data from websites.[1] Web scraping software may access the World Wide Web directly using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol, or through a web browser. While web scraping can be done manually by a software user, the term typically refers to automated processes implemented using a bot or web crawler. It is a form of copying, in which specific data is gathered and copied from the web, typically into a central local database or spreadsheet, for later retrieval or analysis. Getting Started with HtmlUnit Introduction The dependencies page lists all the jars that you will need to have in your classpath. The class com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.WebClient is the main starting point. This simulates a web browser and will be used to execute all of the tests. Most unit testing will be done within a framework like JUnit so all the examples here will assume that we are using that. In the first sample, we create the web client and have it load the homepage from the HtmlUnit website.
