On Line Information Services Based on Full Text Retrieval Technology

Project website

Co-operating with the international company called OpenText Inc. (earlier Dataware Inc.) we have developed a special on-line information service technology. The technology is based on a professional textual database management system, called BRS/SEARCH and its extension for the World Wide Web, called NetAnswer. The technology is especially suitable to handle large databases containing primarily textual information.

The Netanswer based technology is used by the National Information Infrastructure, which is actually the computer network for the Hungarian Academic community, serving several hundreds of institutions and hundreds of thousands end users all over Hungary.

Participants: MTA SZTAKI-ITAK, OpenText (USA)
