public class IdentifyCopyright

extends Object

Takes an html page as a String and locates the most likely copyright statement. Assuming the most commonly observed pattern of Copyright DateRange CopyrightOwner, the routine breaks assigns the date (if there) and publisher (assumed to be Copyright Owner) The routine could be more sophisticated, such as checking to see if the date is reasonable or dealing with non-standard characters, but it seems pretty good for capturing text to be checked by a human. Accessor methods to return the cleaned date, publisher, and copyright (date + publisher) are used.
