Companies and organizations are building information systems by integrating previously independent applications, together with new developments. This integration process has to deal with existing applications, which can only be used through their specific interfaces, and often cannot be modified. Integration of web applications running remotely and controlled by separate organizations becomes even more complicated, as their user interface can display differently in different browsers or change without prior notification as a result of application maintenance. Web user interface is not easily processed by machine and moreover its format in public web sites is generally unstable - relatively frequently unannounced changes are introduced, which are easy to accommodate by humans, but constitute an issue for automated processing. Therefore a tool is proposed which provides for flexible interfacing application to a web site through that site's Web user interface.
