The Short Names

Global Text Book Project
http://globaltext.terry.uga.edu/node/1

The project will create open content electronic textbooks that will be freely available from a website. Distribution will also be possible via paper, CD, or DVD. Their goal initially is to focus on content development and Web distribution, and they will work with relevant authorities to facilitate dissemination by other means when bandwidth is unavailable or inadequate. The goal is to make textbooks available to the many who cannot afford them. They have experience with developing a free textbook, XML: Managing Data Exchange. This project started in January 2004 when a graduate class at the University of Georgia wrote the first version of the book. Subsequent graduate and undergraduate classes at the University of Georgia and elsewhere have improved and extended the book. It has been used as the XML text in a variety of classes, and in each case the class has been required to leave the book in better shape than they received it at the beginning of the term. Experience with this project and the success of WikiBooks has convinced them that they can further develop the idea of free and open content books to increase the value of these books to students, particularly those who cannot afford paper-based textbooks. They want to add several innovations to improve the quality of the books. The Global Text Project is funded by the Jacobs Foundation.

Aduna AutoFocus - Search and Find Information
http://www.aduna-software.com/technologies/autofocus/overview.view

Aduna AutoFocus helps you to search and find information on your PC, network disks, mail boxes, websites and AutoFocus Server sources. AutoFocus has the ability to scans all the places where you expect valuable information and provides powerful means for retrieving that information. The important advantage over similar tools is that AutoFocus presents the search results using facets and Cluster Maps. Facets allow to find documents on more than just keywords and the visualisation provided by the Cluster Maps allows you to see how files, web pages or emails are related. The birds-eye view helps you gain insight in information that is available on combinations of keywords. In each step of your search it shows the number of documents that match your search (and of course a link to the documents themselves) so that you can effectively zoom in to find what you seek. Benefits include: a) search results presented in a Cluster Map for better overview, b) facets show what metadata is available in sources, c) support for multiple information sources and file types, and d) significant terms summarize clusters and suggest search refinements.
