Babel Nexus Index
A Demonstration for a Discovery System for the Public Domain
A demonstration project for a discovery system. Seventeen knowledge chambers, 146 books, papers, and documents drawn from the public domain, paired with an Oracle. Built by Nishan Stepak.
This is part of a long term interest in the concept of universal libraries. After reading extensively on subjects like the short story, Library of Babel, the World Brain, and the Memex, I came up with the idea that a variation of the Library of Babel could be used as a shell for a nearly infinite collection of content. As a demonstration, I took public domain science titles and put them in this structure.
This is part of what should become a much larger more extensive project.
