Abstract: A method and system for implementing a browser based information extraction and transmission method. A method and system for identifying, extracting, and transmitting predefined structured information from web pages browser interface. The extracted information is then added to a user profile on a social network and a database. The information is shared with other users who can comment, copy, vote on, or go to the original information source. The information can be combined with other extracted information to form collections for the purposes of voting on one or more items in the collection, combining multiple items to form a useful kit, saving information for later use, adding addition information such as dates and purchase location for personal inventory purposes, and for saving bookmarks to structured data.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system and method which users can use to identify data base elements in a web page, store the extraction template representing the location and type of elements on the page, extract and store the product record in their collection, use the extraction template to automatically extract all the data from the web site and constantly check the extraction templates for correctness and update the extraction templates if necessary. Additionally, the present invention system provides crowd sourced web page data record extraction template creation to build a database of web page extraction templates which could then be used by others to extract the information from the web pages at the site where the extraction template(s) were created, and to save the information to a social network. Moreover, crowd based web page data record extraction template creation and storage system can be used to create extraction templates for batch extraction of information from remote web sites.
