North Knight Software

Dalhousie University's Faculty of Graduate Studies recently put live the Interdisciplinary PhD Defence Tagcloud developed by North Knight Software.

The tagcloud was the original implementation of SlimPage, which is used to display information about any particular keyword. The information used to create the cloud was originally compiled in Access, then stored in a PostgreSQL database, and then manipulated using a PHP application. While the creation of the Access and PostgreSQL databases was handled by the technical staff at the Faculty of Graduate Studies, the PHP and Javascript programming, as well as the tag cloud markup, was done by North Knight Software.
