No, it’s not Spiderman’s latest web slinging tool but something that’s more real world. Like the World Wide Web.

But there are some places where a spider cannot enter. Take library databases which need a password for access. Or even
pages that belong to private networks of organizations. Dynamically generated web pages in response to a query are often left
un-indexed by search engine spiders.

Search engine technology has progressed by leaps and bounds. Today, we have real time search and the capability to index Flash based and
PDF content. Even then, there remain large swathes of the web which a general search engine cannot penetrate. The term, Deep Net, Deep Web
or Invisible Web lingers on.

To get a more precise idea of the nature of this ‘Dark Continent’ involving the invisible and web search engines, read what Wikipedia has to say
about the Deep Web. The figures are attention grabbers – the size of the open web is 167 terabytes. The Invisible Web is estimated at 91,000
terabytes. Check this out – the Library of Congress, in 1997, was figured to have close to 3,000 terabytes!

How do we get to this mother load of information?

That’s what this post is all about. Let’s get to know a few resources which will be our deep diving vessel for the Invisible Web. Some of these are

This is considered to be the oldest catalog on the web and was started by started by Tim Berners-Lee, the creator of the web. So, isn’t it strange tha
finds a place in the list of Invisible Web resources? Maybe, but the WWW Virtual Library lists quite a lot of relevant resources on quite a lot of
subjects. You can go vertically into the categories or use the search bar. The screenshot shows the alphabetical arrangement of subjects covered a
the site.

Intute
http://www.intute.ac.uk/
Intute is UK centric, but it has some of the most esteemed universities of the region providing the resources for study and research. You can brows
by subject or do a keyword search for academic topics like agriculture to veterinary medicine. The online service has subject specialists who review
and index other websites that cater to the topics for study and research.
Intute also provides free of cost over 60 free online tutorials to learn effective internet research skills. Tutorials are step by step guides and are
arranged around specific subjects.

Complete Planet
http://aip.completeplanet.com/
Complete Planet calls itself the ‘front door to the Deep Web’. This free and well designed directory resource makes it easy to access the mass of
dynamic databases that are cloaked from a general purpose search. The databases indexed by Complete Planet number around 70,000 and range
from Agriculture to Weather. Also thrown in are databases like Food & Drink and Military.
For a really effective Deep Web search, try out the Advanced Search options where among other things, you can set a date range.

Infoplease
http://www.infoplease.com/index.html

biographies. Infoplease also has a few nice offshoots like Factmonster.com for kids and Biosearch, a search engine just for biographies.

DeepPeep
http://www.deeppeep.org/
DeepPeep aims to enter the Invisible Web through forms that query databases and web services for information. Typed queries open up dynamic b
short lived results which cannot be indexed by normal search engines. By indexing databases, DeepPeep hopes to track 45,000 forms across 7
domains.
The domains covered by DeepPeep (Beta) are Auto, Airfare, Biology, Book, Hotel, Job, and Rental. Being a beta service, there are occasional
glitches as some results don’t load in the browser.

IncyWincy

full text eprints, teaching and learning resources along with articles and relevant website information.

Quote:

Just like general web search, searching the Invisible Web is also about looking for the needle in the haystack. Only here, the haystack is much
bigger. The Invisible Web is definitely not for the casual searcher. It is a deep but not dark because if you know what you are searching for,
enlightenment is a few keywords away.

CARNEGIE AND ROCKEFELLER

Today, we meet two wealthy men. The University of Houston's College of Engineering presents this series about the machines that
make our civilization run, and the people whose ingenuity created them.

America's emergence as an industrial power in the late 19th century rested heavily on two substances -- oil and iron. And two
people played a large role in providing these materials.

Andrew Carnegie was born in Scotland in 1835, and his family moved to Pennsylvania when young Andrew was thirteen. John D.
Rockefeller was born four years later in upstate New York -- the son of a trader, who moved him to Cleveland when he was six.

Carnegie's early jobs practically mapped out the technological emergence of 19th-century America. He was a bobbin boy in a
textile factory, a telegraph operator, an engine tender. Then he worked with railroads and with oil wells. But when he was 38 he
started the Keystone Iron Works, and he stayed with that until 1901. By then Keystone Iron had become U.S. Steel, and Andrew
Carnegie had become one of the wealthiest men on the planet.

John D. Rockefeller went into business when he was 20, and he picked up his first oil well as a sideline. He soon saw that that
was the right horse to ride. Even before automobiles and airplanes laid their heavy claim on oil, it'd begun replacing coal in the
power industries.

Carnegie and Rockefeller -- both staggeringly wealthy by the 20th century -- came to giving by two different paths: Even before he'd
reached his apogee, Carnegie wrote that a wealthy man's life should go in two stages -- first gaining wealth, then using that wealth
to improve the general welfare. And that's what he did. He established Carnegie Institute, Tuskegee Institute, and many other
schools. He became the patron saint of libraries. He set up charitable foundations.

Rockefeller, on the other hand, began giving when anti-trust forces closed in on his Standard Oil Company. He also set up
charitable corporations of all sorts to give away excess money. He began by creating the University of Chicago. Whatever his
motives, Rockefeller gave birth to a dynasty of charitable giving that extends right down to the present day.

Of course, Andrew Carnegie makes the better hero. He, after all, was part and parcel of the emerging technologies that made our
country. And his giving sprang from some deep-seated core of principle. Yet the Rockefeller clan assumed the mantle of public
service. They've become political leaders and professional givers -- one died doing anthropological research in New Guinea.

Money creates responsibility. Sooner or later, we realize that we have a decent world to live in only when the money created by our
technological foresight comes back around to increase knowledge and beauty in that world.

I'm John Lienhard, at the University of Houston, where we're interested in the way inventive minds work.

Turn of the century oil wells --

the kind that made Rockefeller rich
