The most interesting webpage that I ran across in this mad surfing was a star forts database that has been developed by Oliver. He appears to have used java to code this database in such a way that every photograph or drawing is linked as an object both to other objects in the database and to primary source material available on the internet at webpages for other authors and institutions. Not only did I learn a great deal about the long history of design and construction of star forts, his creative programming for internet applications gives me hope for new sharing and integration of scientific information as the internet takes on a more open architecture.
