Meresco Technology Vision

MERESCO can be classified as a software-toolbox built on the following two design philosophies:

'keep it simple'
'keep it open'

MERESCO's current, 3^rd generation system, is fully operating in line with these challenging requirements. Furthermore, using MERESCO, you will discover its ability to effortlessly integrate newly developed applications into existing software systems.

Python

MERESCO's use of the Python programming language enables her to use any software technology. This is due to the fact that Python has great flexibility - known as the 'Pythonic Way'. Also it has the ability to create Pythonic interfaces to existing software, dismissing the need to reinvent the wheel.

Popular Components

MERESCO's most popular components are the following:

Lucene/Solr: one of the best full-text indexers
OWLIM: the fastest semantic repositories (RDF, SPARQL)
FacetIndex: the fastest faceting search available
BerkelyDB: well-known scalable dictionary
OAI-PMH: expose everything via OAI-PMH, automatically

DNA

MERESCO's DNA is based on Weightless, which is the primary technology enabling the flexible connection between various components. As a result, MERESCO is highly qualified to support 'best-of-breed' as well as 'integrated system' approaches. You are free to opt between linking the components that cover most functions reasonably well, or otherwise to link the best components by functionality. The options are all yours.
