“How do you index 100 million websites?”

Christian Branbergen, co-founder of the Groningen-based company Dataprovider, will give a talk during the Thursday Afternoon Borrel. Dataprovider has indexed over 115 million websites in 25 countries. Information from those websites is transformed into a structured database. As you can imagine, this is easier said than done.

At 16:00, the TAB starts as usual. At 17:00, Christian will give a 20-minute TAB Talk about the technical aspects of Dataprovider. After that, the TAB will continue.

TAB Talks are a new concept developed by the ComExA (Committee of External Affairs). During the TAB, we invite interesting companies or PhD'ers to give a short technical talk about their activities. Speakers are invited to stay after their talk, to enjoy a drink and get into discussion with students.
