- the answer to AnswerBook... is Google??
-
AnswerBook 1?? That was very short lived. It was innovative, but showed up about the same time as the Mosaic web browser. Sun knew it was going to be eclipsed.
The AnswerBook 2 engine might borrow from AnswerBook 1, but clearly generates HTML instead of the proprietary AnswerBook 1 pages. The source code of books for AnswerBook 2 is SolBook SGML; SolBook being a subset of DocBook.
Sun's pain in the complexity of SGML and DocBook gave rise to a major clean-up and subset of SGML, which we now know and love as XML.
All of which is to say... interesting engines can be built to succeed AnswerBook, and they will be bsaed on DocBook XML. Decent first generation tools already exist. But the AnswerBook 2 search engine capability doesn't seem to have been duplicated yet... unless you count Google. - Posted by: asky Posted on: 11/05/04 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
