Cooperative Hierarchical Indexing Coordination


The TF-CHIC and CHIC-Pilot projects are no longer active (the task force was active from 1997 to 1999). These page remain as a record of UKOLN's activities in these projects..

Introduction

TF-CHIC was a TERENA-funded task force concerned with the coordination of harvesting and indexing network resources. Work in the task force built upon existing standards and technologies, such as those employed in Harvest and the DESIRE and ROADS projects.

The task force spawned the CHIC-Pilot project that set up a pilot distributed indexing service based on Whois++, Harvest, ROADS and Z39.50 technology.

  • A CHIC-Pilot demo search interfacewas developed but is no longer available.
  • A report on "Standards in the CHIC-Pilot Distributed Indexing Architecture" is not longer available.
