Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for obtaining structured data from text includes inputting text to be transformed into structured data, defining at least one criterion relating to content of the text, applying a first matching method to the text to identify a value in the text for each of the criterion, and applying a second matching method to the text to identify a value in the text for each of the criterion that the first matching method fails to identify a value for. Each of the criterion is then associated with a value obtained by the first or second matching method to create at least one criterion-value pair, and structured data is created based on the at least one criterion-value pair. The first matching method has a higher reliability than the second matching method.
