Showcase: Information Organization Lab

This semester, groups of students produced over 30 experimental projects: Come see Vannevar Bush’s Memex implemented using Delicious, recipe books powered by microformats, a semantic web news aggregator, a bar crawl heat map, and many more. Refreshments will be served.

In the Information Organization Labcourse, students experiment with fundamental concepts of information organization and retrieval. The projects on display were built as part of rapid two- to three-week assignments using tools like JavaScript, jQuery, Python, Google App Engine, and APIs from Delicious, Flickr, Google Maps, Last.fm, Wordnik and Freebase.
