Ask MAMA what the web is.
New Opera project will help to understand and evaluate the structure of the Web
Oslo, Norway, October 15, 2008 - Opera Software has begun creating a one-of-a-kind search engine that will allow you to study the structure of web pages on the world wide web. After its official release in a few months, this system will allow browser developers and standardization committees to jointly create a more compatible and standards-compliant Internet.
Opera today announces the emergence of a search engine MAMA (Metadata Analysis and Mining Application), which is the brainchild of the company's engineers, which allows indexing the markup, style, use of scripts and other technologies used to create web pages. Opera was originally a leader in innovation and MAMA is a confirmation of the company's deep understanding of the global network.
The MAMA search engine checks 3.5 million web pages and the results of the check allow you to answer questions such as “can I find all pages with at least 100 links?” Or “what does an average web page consist of?” - web developer’s dreams begin to be implemented.
“The modern world-wide network consists of a multitude of technological solutions, while still constantly evolving. MAMA's extensive database provides detailed information on how and to what extent web technologies are used by network developers, ”said Snorre M. Grimsby, vice president of quality control at Opera Software. “For us, the quality, compatibility and stability of our software products is the main task, and we want to share our experience with everyone who this knowledge can be useful.”
MAMA will allow web developers to find examples of how different solutions and functions are used, see the main trends in the development of the network, and get information that can help you work with your clients and managers. Also, this technology will allow standardization committees to more accurately evaluate certain proposals from developers and ultimately make the Web better and more suitable for closer interaction between browsers.
MAMA will also help with answers to questions such as “how many websites use CSS (cascading style sheets)?” (80.4% according to MAMA), or “how many errors on average do each web page have?” (47 ), or “how many characters are used on average on web pages?” (16,400), or even more specific, “which country is most actively using the XMLHttpRequest technology, the most important component of AJAX?” .
MAMA will help answer questions that are hard to find answers, for example, “how many sites are adapted for viewing from mobile devices?” Or “how common is Web 2.0?”. The definition of pages that correspond to the term “Web 2.0” can contain many evaluation criteria, including the use of microformats, RSS, JSON (JavaScript Object Notation), AJAX, and others. MAMA is ready to provide detailed answers to questions that do not have simple answers.
MAMA is an actively developing project, so over time the range of data obtained using this search engine will expand. This will allow you to keep track of current trends in the Web and help developers find real samples of real web design art to learn and use as a sample.
