Record segmentation is a core problem in structured web data extraction. In this paper we present a novel technique that segments structured web data into individual data records that come from underlying database. Proposed technique exploits visual as well as structural features of web page elements to group them into semantically similar clusters. Resulting clusters reflect the page structure and are used to segment data records. During the segmentation process the technique also generates Xpath expressions. These expressions can be later used to directly extract data records from same template generated web pages without need to redo all the clustering and segmentation processes. Extracted structured data can be reused in wide range of applications, such as price comparison portals, meta-searching, knowledge bases and etc. The experimental evaluation results of proposed technique system on three publicly available benchmark data sets demonstrate nearly perfect results in terms of precision and recall.
