Welcome to our new Web site. We have worked hard to produce something simple on the outside but clever on the inside to provide useful knowledge sharing features relevant to our areas of interest.

Much of the content of the site is driven by a specially-developed XML/RSS aggregation system that compares incoming feeds and our own posts using a customised keyword vector space. The technology behind the site is also quite smart, with XHTML generated by Cold Fusion components that we manage online through a simple weblog publishing system, which in turn has been extended to cope with faceted metadata and a few other things
See below for more details of the technology used

The page code is managed by very compact cross-browser code that is XHTML-compliant, with layout controlled by a single stylesheet. This also means that text browsers can see the page content more easily. See here for more details on the site design.
