Notes for Week 12

The first articles about Web Search Engines was unavailable as it they were required to buy, and I'm not paying $19 twice to buy articles I'll read once. Sorry.

I was surprised to find that the "deep web" is so much deeper (like 440-550 times) than the surface web, I mean it makes sense, it just surprised me. I got a bit confused with the explanation of what qualifies as a deep web.

Current developments and future trends for the OAI Protocol for Metadata Harvesting, I got lost when reading this article. I couldn't understand anything that it was talking about. Hopefully class will clear it up tomorrow.

Muddiest Point - Week 11

Notes for Week 10

An Introduction to the Extensible Markup Language (XML) by Martin Bryan

This article was very helpful in starting off stating that XML is not a type of HTML. I had always been under the impression that XML was the same thing as HTML but improved on/better version of it. I did get confused towards the end where it was talking about the codes for the XML.

A survey of XML standards: Part 1 by Uche Ogbuji

I was rather confused by this article. I couldn't figure out the codes for the XML writing, and it was just difficult to focus on.

Extending your Markup: An XML Tutorial

Out of the last few tutorials we've had in the past couple of weeks, this one is probably the worst that I read yet. It did nothing to help me understand the XML at all.

Muddiest Point - Week 9

I didn't have a muddiest point for this week due to the fact that I already knew most of what was being discussed.
