Data Mining

Decided to use iRobot web scraper to extract data from Franklin County Auditor website Obtained a list of every street in Franklin County

(http://www.fceo.co.franklin.oh.us/) iRobot uses the list as search criteria Able to output data to XML file or database

Problems Encountered

Searching by street name can only return a maximum of 400 results (some addresses are being left out)

Auditor’s website not always reliable for street name matching

May take several days to extract information for all of Franklin County

Determining Foreclosures

Can’t use foreclosure.com … doesn’t have full addresses

Most likely use Fannie Mae (homepath.com) & Freddie Mac (homesteps.com) to get as much Foreclosure information as possible

Goals for Next Week

Begin mapping out specifications and use cases

Begin database designRefine web scraping for Franklin County

Auditor’s websiteCreate web scraper for homesteps.com and

homepath.com
