A small experiment on the www

Have you ever try to find informations about ALADIN on the www ? In February 1999, ALADIN appeared as :

• a shared-library catalog for universities in the U.S. States,
• a water and amusement park in Pakistan,
• an editor of music from Magreb,
• an interactive software sky atlas referenced as "the ALADIN project",
• Advanced LAnguage Device for INteraction Project with a magic lamp as a logo !...,
• a famous casino in Las Vegas,
• a great number of restaurants,
• ... and so many other things.

Very persevering Internet surfers could succeed in finding a few pages about our ALADIN. Other international projects in NWP did not have the same problem. You could directly obtain informations about them on the Internet but ... they do not have a so famous (and consequently) so used name ... and they have a general server that presents their project with links to local pages of the NMS cooperating in the project.

Let us take up this easy challenge for a magic project such as ALADIN : to make a web page about our ALADIN project appear in the www search engines. All ideas or contributions can be sent to patricia.pottier++at++meteo.fr .
