In this paper we present the METEOR system which utilizes various presentation and linkage regularities from referral lists of various sorts to automatically separate and extract metadata and instance information. Experimental results for the university domain with 12 computer science department Web sites, comprising 361 individual faculty and course home pages indicate that the performance of the metadata and instance extraction averages 85%, 88% F-measure respectively. METEOR achieves this performance without any domain specific engineering requirement.
