Technical Details
The GenomeWeb is based on a database that contains all the URLs and
site descriptions. This is used to create the categorized resource
listings. Every day, all the URLs are extracted and are retrieved
through our proxy cache server, so that we have the documents cached
locally and anyone using our proxy server will get much faster access
to the documents. This process also verifies that the URL is valid and
that the document hasn't disappeared or moved. The documents are saved
to disk and indexed using excite so that they can be searched.
