Hi everyone, ASI (our parent organization) has been offering SIGs the opportunity to use an email address associated with the asindexing.org domain. I have...
Hello Web Indexing SIG, My name is Nelson Hsu and I signed up recently to these groups to learn more about the community of web indexers and web indexing in ...
Hi Nelson, Thank you for sharing these indexes on this list. (This list has been a little too quite lately.) I have not seen such an online editable index...
Unfortunately, because of my background as a web programmer, I have only been able to populate the index with technical information. I would be very...
Hi Nelson, Basedex looks quite interesting, but I'm not sure that I fully understand the way it would work. It seems as if it is to be used to make a...
Hi Nelson, This is rather interesting, but I am still unsure how it operates. I will spend some more time over the weekend looking around some more and then ...
I looked at this, fairly quickly, so I may well have missed something. The overall structure does look OK, but I think what is missing (or what I missed) is...
Nelson, I am also interested in learning more about your software and its intended functions. Your sample indexes were interesting. Currently I index all the...
I'm posting a link to an index to an online edition of "Orders of Magnitude" that I wrote for the Australian web index prize some years ago. It is a history of...
Hi James, Thanks for pointing this out. It would definitely be a serious hindrance to collaboration and I will try to address it for the next update. Nelson...
Sara, I wasn't exactly sure who to ask for permission to import the index for 'Agile...with Rails', so I asked Dave Thomas and Pragmatic Programmers and they...
Hi Linda, I would love to give access to the text, but right now I don't have the resources or infrastructure to obtain the publisher's permission and have...
I have no problem posting NASA material as anything they publish is public domain. There are certain types of information that are easily used this way...
Hi Linda, I never realized that the "Orders of Magnitude" book web index was written by you. It has been linked to from the Web Index examples page of the Web...
... This is a fundamental difference between searches and indexes - in a search, you have to guess what term will be filed as - so you would have to search on...
This is a clever way to store and retrieve information using Ruby on Rails. I am just starting to learn this framework. http://www.rubyonrails.org/ With its...
... Thanks for sharing this, it is very informative. ... I'm having a tough time googling for more information about previous research on this 'super index',...
... I think that it is referred to in Henry B. Wheatley's book "How to make an index", published in 1902, but I do not have a copy, and have got the idea that...
... Interesting - this is my implementation[1] of merging indexes (I've merged 170 together so far). If people click on the arrow next to the entry, they get...

Hi RE: Super Index Many years ago (mid 1990s) I discussed at a meeting, a similar idea with the online bookseller for Blackwell Publishing. They wanted to...
I'd like to thank the web-indexing group for sharing your knowledge and giving me feedback, advice, and information. It's been greatly appreciated. I'd like...
... And I would like to thank you for seeking out our group. I have not commented on your work because I am not active in web indexing; I am here to learn....
Nelson, I have a few more questions/comments. Firstly, clicking 'sign up now for free' at http://blazingrails.basedex.com/ gives a 'file not found' message, so...
I have been tidying up my delicious tags - made the mistake of using 'website_indexing' for sites ABOUT website indexing and sites that ARE website indexes....

Hi Glenda, Thanks for sharing this. I had heard of delicious and am aware that this is referred to as "social tagging," but I had not explored the site yet....
