So, I started to think about it—about what web scraping really is—and themore I considered it, themore it remindedme of TimBerners-Le’e s vision of a web of linked data, of semantic data, connected together and open for all to share and use. Is not web scraping simply the act of getting data from one source and parsing it to use in your own applications? Is this not the goal of the Semantic Web?
