Abstract
This paper describes the LinqToWeb framework for web data extraction. It is designed in an innovative way that allows defining strongly typed object model transparently reflecting data on the living web.
This mechanism provides access to raw web data in a completely object oriented way using modern techniques of Language Integrated Query (LINQ). Using this framework development of web-based applications such as data semantization tools is more efficient, type-safe, and the resulting product is easily maintainable and extendable.
