Benefits

Webraska Inuk has been designed and developed with maximum performance, flexibility and reliability in mind, for the benefit of service providers:

• It offers the capability to define groups of users and multiple content categories and to decide what groups have access to what content.
  
  
• It is both robust and fully scalable thanks to its peer-to-peer architecture that can be scaled according to the amount of data managed.
  
  
• It is compatible with multiple content data types (addresses, events,…): it uses W3C standard RDF data model and schemas allowing to define adapted data description formats.
  
  
• It is fully decentralised and asynchronous: content data may be provided by multiple contributors; data updates can be committed any time automatically or manually, by any contributors at any frequency.
  
  
• It provides developers with standard APIs so that service providers may easily deploy their own applications with a user friendly web based interface and an administration tool to implement restricted or premium access.
  
  
• It allows applications to location-enable content data and can directly be interfaced with Webraska’s SmartZone Geospatial Platform (SGP).
  
  
• It offers multiple ways to retrieve content data: it performs spatial, temporal, text and phonetic indexing in real-time so that it can immediately be available for local searches, and offers configurable content data description to search for content by type and attributes.
