Margonda Raya No. 100 Pondok Cina Depok, Indonesia Website presents data in various forms and formats, one of them in the form of a table. Tables on the Internet can be taken such way by copy and paste, but this way is not easy if done on many tables then from extracted result they have been merged with the other tables. This article discussed the research on extraction of HTML tables which stored into a database form. The approach used was algorithm to perform the search process the number of rows and number of columns from the table, and algorithms to perform matching the contents of the table cell extraction results with a Property Name database, so it is unknown whether the extracted table has property in the row/column/table without property. Table and Property Name database displays the data in the Indonesian Language. At pre processing stage Property Name database which is also prepared the techniques to enrich the instance of the Property Name database. The tables in the extract is a table HTML format with a simple table where the form is not found of any merger of the rows and columns in the row position merge 1/column 1. This research provides techniques to enrich the instance of a database, and with the use of illustrations, and then an approach to do the extraction of tabular HTML format can be done in a semi-automatic. In addition to that property in the table which is extracted can be distinguished from the contents of the cell which is a data table. Keywords: HTML, Property Name of Table, Table Extraction, Website 1. INTRODUCTION The data sources available on the Internet in various forms and formats, one of which is in the form of a table. The table consists of a cell, where each cell can contain a label/name attributes of the cell and cell data/content/attribute value 10 . For example that it find on the web site of a travel agent, it is showing data on the sales of airline tickets in the form of a table. Data retrieval in the form of tables on the Internet performed to process data to the further process or does the merging of data extraction results with existing data. * Email Address: detty@staff.gunadarma.ac.id / dettydepe@yahoo.com Actually data retrieval on the Internet can be done by means of copy and paste, but this way is not easy if conducted at many tables. Table extraction approach is useful if you want to take a few tables from various sources on the Internet. The Illustrations can be seen in Figure 1, where the results of the data retrieval process of merging can be performed for further interoperability process. Figure 1 shows two forms of tables about the ticket pricing information with the property name which is different but they have the same meaning. The table extraction will be useful to combine contents of both tables into one table only.
