Connotate Comments on Data Scraping

June 22, 2012

There are a variety of different ways for businesses to store and manage their date. The recent Connotate blog post “Don’t Miss Out on Key Information With Data Scraping Solutions” regarding the company’s shifting positioning from smart agents to smart agents plus data scraping.

Data scraping is a technique in which a computer program extracts data from human-readable output coming from another program. According to the post, data scraping  tools allow businesses to stay ahead of their competition by finding and collecting information online that can be housed in an internal database or shared with customers and employees. Data scraping technology helps businesses better understand your customer’s needs.

The article states:

“Things like current prices on travel or directories of doctors and other resources can help you give complete information to your customers so they continue doing business with you. When you work with Connotate, you can get the scraping solutions you want that will work the way you need them to.”

After reading this post, I’m interested to know, does data scraping suggest pulling content from web pages which have been set up to make it less easy to copy content?
