I
missed this question on our first exam. In truth, I first wrote SEARCH
ENGINES, but then crossed it out vigorously to write in "The names of
servers, easy for the IT Team to remember, but difficult to hack." I
should stop second guessing myself!!
Archie, Veronica, and Jughead are
archival systems. Archie is considered the first internet search engine.
It was written in 1990 by Alan
Emtage at McGill University in Montreal.
Veronica was developed in 1992 as a search engine by Steven Foster
and Fred Barrie at the University of Nevada, Reno. Jughead was
developed in 1993 at University of Utah as another search engine system using
the Gopher protocol. The name stands for "Very Easy Rodent-Oriented
Net-wide Index to Computer Archives".
It was chosen to match that of the FTP search service known
as Archie. And thus the naming system according to popular
cartoon band characters. Jughead is
officially an acronym for “Jonzy's
Universal Gopher Hierarchy Excavation and Display.”
