The Deep Web
The deep web refers to content on the internet that is not indexed by search engines like Google and makes up an estimated 500 times more information than the surface web. It exists because search engine technology cannot index dynamically generated or password protected pages. The deep web can be accessed through anonymity software like Tor and contains both positive resources like educational papers as well as illegal activities due to anonymity. As more data is created, challenges remain for search engines to effectively index the deep web.

Drupal and the Semantic Web
Data by itself is simply a collection of numbers. It only becomes meaningful when we weave it through context. A context of relevance that creates information - provides insight, creates solutions and solves problems. The Web gives us a fabric of connectedness, but if the data isn't substantiated semantically, the information we create isn't very useful. By building effective web assets using platforms like Drupal, we build ways to solve problems across the spectrum from local to global. We not only build the Web the way it was meant to be, but we also build it to support a commons across community, enterprise and government for generations to come.

Evaluating Online Sources
CARS is a method for evaluating the credibility, accuracy, reasonableness, and support of online and print sources. It stands for credibility, accuracy, reasonableness, and support. For credibility, one should consider the author's expertise and credentials. For accuracy, check publication dates and comprehensiveness. For reasonableness, consider the author's bias, worldview, and treatment of multiple sides. For support, review listed sources and other authors' opinions of the work. Using CARS helps determine if a source is worth researching and can also guide one's own writing.

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on Blockchain
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.
