Author:Abe Lederman, Innovative Web Applications
Abstract:At the February 2002 CENDI meeting, Mr. Lederman explaieds that the invisible web, or deep web, is information that is made available via the web, but cannot be retrieved by web crawlers because it is in databases, behind firewalls, or is available only for a fee or with other access restrictions. Distributed Explorit is the deep web search technology developed by Innovative Web Applications and has been used on DOE's Environmental Science Network and the Energy Portal at DTIC, as well as other web sites including Science.gov. Mr. Lederman explained how Distributed Explorit functions and listed some enhancements that are not usually found in Web search engines or other applications that search the deep web. The ability to mark and download results, field searching (including date-range searching), access to log-in restricted Web sites, and navigation capabilities are a few of the enhancements mentioned. Plans for future enhancements may include the clustering of results, indexing/analysis of results, assisting users identify the most relevant results, and connecting the product with collaborative work tools.
