Hello everyone,

As we mentioned in our project presentation I am responsible for extracting useful data from external sources, so I wrote 5 java classes extracting the relevant data from tuik.gov.tr . In initial test conditions, every class contained a main function in it, now every class contains a static extract() method in it. These methods returns all useful data sets as vectors. I used classes and its properties as a mirror of the db tables I took from Erdem. I am planning to write java classes to extract other related pages in the next week. In the meantime, I will work on visualization patterns and plotting techniques as well.

I've made research about html parsing this week. This part of the project probably will be harder to implement than what we've thought before. We're mostly concerned with the TUIK website.

Hi all,


This week I continued to research on html parsing. I found a governmental web site to extract some currency values. It is more reliable and its content is so easy to parse:

Also, I am still researching on how to make use of web services of tuik web site. I am looking for useful data to be extracted from there.

this week i have studied on graphics alternatives for our project. we can categorize alternatives into two groups : server side solutions and client side solutions. actually, server side solutions are richer than client side solutions but it is slower when compared to former one. the reason for the slowness is the turnaround -between server and client- time for each request. the drawback of client side solutions is its development difficulties. for example javascript is a very extensive language in which almost every graphics issue can be performed. however, it is hard to develop javascript code because there is no intellisense support for it. besides, since it is very large it is hard to find libraries.

when we consider all the criterion above, though its fallacies, we will prefer client side solution.

Hi,

This week I worked for extracting an html for a given URL, and parsing this html code. Firstly, I tried to extract dollar/TL rate from a web source named "http://kur.doviz.com". I succeeded extracting, but I couldt do the parsing job because of an exception about Turkish characters. There are two ways of doing this, first one is supporting for Turkish characters, second one is extracting dolar from other web source. I will try the first one until this weekend, but also I need some know-how information about this and so time. Lastly, I will try to research for some visual facilities such as Javascript and its chart libraries.
