DONNA stands for Document Organization aNd Navigation
Agent. The project was sponsored by FileNet Corporation, a provider of
document management software and solutions. The project changed shape
several times, but concentrated generally on the problem of personal digital
libraries for competitive business intelligence.
Salticus (Search Augmented by Learning Technology: Incrementally Customizable
User Spider) is the part of DONNA that helps the user gather documents
to support a particular analysis. I am now in the process of taking some
of the results of this work and moving them to the Greenstone digital
library system.
