New, ALVIS: Open Source Semantic Web Search Project from European Consortium
A recently released open source, semantic web project from several research organizations based in Europe. Not much on the web site but here's what I was able to piece together.
+ From the web site, 'The new economy is based on innovation, and innovation is based on up-to-date information. The semi-static Internet alone has in the order of 1000 million pages of information, and search has become a fundamental service required both by individual citizens and businesses alike.'
+ From the web site, 'The project will conduct research in the design, use and interoperability of topic-specific search engines with the goal of developing an open source prototype of a distributed, semantic-based search engine. Existing search engines provide poor foundation for semantic web operations, and US companies such as Google are becoming monopolies, distorting the entire information landscape.'
+ Goal #1 -- Implement a semantic-based search engine, with the code as Open Source. A public demonstration of a topic-specific search engine in a topic to be determined will be done.
+ Project began at beginning of 2004 and will continue through 2006.
+ Consortium includes members from France, Switzerland, Finland, Denmark, Slovenia, and Spain.

The site mentions that deims will be available beginning next monnth. "
