PROJECT ABBA BY INDRASHAH ISA
TOWARDS AN AUTOMATED BIBLIOGRAPHY BUILDING
AGENT
A NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR
This page is specially focused on the project I did in KRDL. The title of the project is 'Towards An Autonomous Bibligraphy Building Agent (ABBA). ABBA is a program that will organised bibliographic information on the Internet into a standardised bibliographic format. It is a program that will automatically reconises the Title, Statement of responsibility, Date of publication, Publication origin of a document and etc. The research and developement of this program takes place at Kent Ridge Digital Labs. Basically my task is to research and acquire information on the issues affecting Project ABBA (e.g. neural network application), which specifically targetted at text and data-mining.
This program is very useful for webmasters in organising information on the Internet, especially those websites that carries hundreds and thousands of links. I also have to create a web program using Microsoft Visual Basic 5.0 and some additional components from other web programming software, this program is a prototype, and known as 'Web Val 2.0'. What this program does is that is will enter a website with links, and validate the existance of those links in that particular website. Links with errors are taken into consideration and are noted electronically by the program. This program helps web-masters in their URL validating work, and also for those Internet surfers who have a very hard time maintaining and updatating their website with thousands and thousands of links.

the original
Web Val 2.0 documentation
in MS Word format.
I will also be doing a web-watch task on technical papers on RoboCup for the entire attachment period. I will maintain a RoboCup bibliography housed in KRDL. All new papers will be updated in this bibliographical site and all old and non-existing ones will be noted. In order to check for old and non-existing URLs, I will use the program I created (WebVal 2.0) for the validation.

I will also be doing some evaluation work in evaluating some visual basic Internet libraries, these Visual Basic Internet libraries is intended to be used in the creation of the Web Val 2.0 program. But in the end, after so much evaluation, I decided not to use any of them as itis a problem using those additional tools. Some of the program's functions is also not available. I finally decided to use the Microsoft Internet Transfer Control Tool instead.

Well I hope all those information above will give you a brief knowledge on my task and assignment during the entire attachment period of my industrial attachment program in KRDL. If you have any queries you can mail me at the following address;
