I have a spelling error, it's HTML scraping, it means to read HTML (and few
other contents on the web), and extract information using for example CSS
elements (that is #id .class:first) will brings the first data inside of
"id" of the element with the "class" content.

Another way is to extract information using XPath (for xml).

At the end it's a data mining for specific type of information.
