Chronica: Temporal Search Index
Fall 2004
Site Chronica   Project Blog

Chronica is my senior team project that I worked on with 3 friends.

Chronica is an open source project proposed to our team by the administration/programmers at The Internet Archive, who needed a way to
search meaningfully across their archives. Chronica is to be used in conjunction with Heritrix, the Internet Archive's web crawler. Chronica,
when given a set of the ARC files that the Heretrix webcrawler produces, is able to index them using Lucene and a web-based interface,
allows a user to do query-based searches on the data contained in the ARC files, as well as generate graphs based on term popularity over time.
 The results of the searches can also be viewed through a web server, in order to view a page as it looked at the time it was crawled, duplicating
the functionality of The Wayback Machine, but for personal use on one's own crawled data. Chronica was written entirely in Java, using jsp files
and servlets to produce the web interface.

WebTop: Associative Browsing Agent
Summer 2004
Site: WebTop

WebTop is both a desktop and web based client that allows a user to create and recognize relationships between documents, internet
information sources and other shared knowledge resources. For example, if a student is writing a research paper, WebTop can supply
sources for the paper based on the current content, by connecting to various online sources, including search engines such as Google, online digital
libraries, such as the Internet Archive, and knowledge peers, other users who are running WebTop and sharing some of their documents.
WebTop also allows others to search a user's public documents without the user having to publish the content somewhere else.
WebTop has expanded to include a web based client version and an API to allow publishing of personal digital libraries.
 It is sponsored by Prof. David Wolber and Prof. Chris Brooks at USF.
