 IMDB is the Internet
Movie DataBase (an Amazon company).
A Wiki is an online encyclopedia where every
information is editable by surfers (OK, that's not 100% correct, but
this definition will do).
An example of such a dictionary is dictionary-of-matrix.com
(my own wiki encyclopedia about the Matrix movies) or wikipedia.org
(the biggest wiki on earth). You go there, click on "Edit this
page" and your text is immediately online and visible for others.
A parser is a program that takes information with
a layout (= with colors and font sizes etc.) and deletes all the
layout and leaves the information only.
Example for such a parsing process:
Original info:
Britney Spears (female)
loves Justin Timberlake
(male) very much
Michael Jackson (male) hates
Madonna (female) a bit. |
Parsed info:
Name

Gender

m |

f |

a bit |
As you see the unstructured info has been converted into a
structured table. The table then can be used to sort, convert,
export the data etc. |
