Recently, since the growth of the Internet, World Wide Web has become significant infrastructure in various fields such as business, commerce, education and so on. Accordingly, a user has gathered information by using the Internet. However due to increasing Web pages, it becomes difficult for a user to collect desirable information. Advanced Web search engines may provide solution to some extent, it is still up to a user to summarize or extract meaningful information from such retrieval results. Based on this viewpoints, this paper addresses a generation method of table-style data from heterogeneous Web pages that reflects a user's intention. To achieve it, the method utilize a user's instantiated example in a table in addition to column labels as the table. We apply this method to travel tour pages and discuss future work.
