The content is mainly unstructured.
The information is distrubuted between People, Systemes
und Documents.
Filestructures are not standardized and very individual.
We produce digital content always and everywhere.

4. Information and content disapears in digital streams.

Goal: efficient, generic access to Informationen und Data

5. Search as a central access point

"Our application handles with a lot of textual und
numerical data. To enable an efficient access to this data
we need a search."

Vind (faɪnd) is a modulare Java Library that simplifies the
Integration of Information Discovery Features in Java
Software Projects.
Vind
1. Versatility: Vind will be used in many different projects, so it was an aim to keeping the
dependency footprint small, which avoids version-clashes in the downstream projects.
2. Backend Agnostic: Wherever possible and feasible, the library has to abstracted from
the basic search framework. This enabled us to change the backend without migrating
application software.
3. Flat learning curve: It was an aim to keep the learning curve rather flat, so we tried to
use Java built-in constructs whenever possible. Additionally we tried to follow the concept:
easy things should be easy, complex things can (but does not have to) be complex.

How can I participate?
Vind
Don't hesitate to report bugs, provide fixes or share new ideas with us. We
have various ways for contribution:
• use the issue tracker - report bugs, suggest features or give hints how
we can improve the documentation.
• discuss issues with the community on gitter - two brains are better
than one.
• write code - no patch is too small. So even fixing typos helps to
improve Vind. Just send a pull request!
