Opencola (company)
Opencola was a Toronto-based software company founded in 1999 by Grad Conn, Cory Doctorow and John Henson to create "collaboration object lookup architecture" software, and sold in 2003. The software and specifications produced were all released as open source. The earliest archived page of the company website described "OpenCOLA" as an application, a protocol, suite of tools, and the company itself.
The ''Opencola'' desktop client/server (or "clerver" in Opencola's parlance) application enabled users to collaboratively search, acquire, manage and share information from multiple data sources, including the Internet, peers on the Opencola network, and existing proprietary databases, from a single interface. ''Opencola'' extended search engine capabilities with the ability to perform contextual searching – a process that searches the entire contextual subject matter of a document for relevance and tries to replenish previous searches with more relevant results. Searches would propagate throughout the network as needed to locate the specified content.
The company funded further development of and released Justin Chapweske's ''Swarmcast'', then released it as GPL software May 18, 2001. The software used peer-to-peer swarming techniques similar to Bittorrent to accelerate distribution of large high-volume (frequently accessed) content, as a way to reduce load on source servers, with emphasis on content streaming. The company's Folders project used Swarmcast technology to accelerate content distribution within organizations.
In summer 2003, the company was sold to Open Text Corporation of Waterloo, Ontario.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cory Doctorow; USC Center on Public Diplomacy )〕
