Ruby/Odeum

[Ken Bloom]

I'm looking to use an inverted index for Ruby. There used to be Zed
Shaw's Ruby/odeum that did this using QDBM's inverted index API. I can
find references to this all over the web, unfortuntely but the original
site is gone and I can't find any mirrors.

Can anybody help me out?

If not maybe you would care to explain what is an inverted index please .

you can find the project page on the internet archive [1] and the
gem on rubyforge (gem install ruby_odeum). is that what you're after?

Don't forget about Ferret. http://ferret.davebalmain.com/trac

Also If you can wait a week or so, I'm working on a preliminary ruby interface
to Tokyo Dystopia.

Unfortunately they don't mirror the actual gems.

In the end I found that version 0.2.1 is on Rubyforge (somewhere -- a
search on the website didn't find a project responsible for maintining
it, but I found the gem in RubyGems), and I somehow got my hands on an
0.4 gem which I have mirrored at http://www.iit.edu/~kbloom1/ for the
time being, until I find something better to do with it.

Zed still has all the software on his web site - just no links into it

http://www.zedshaw.com/downloads/ruby_odeum/ruby_odeum-0.4.1.tar.bz2

the gem is here

http://www.zedshaw.com/downloads/ruby_odeum/ruby_odeum-0.4.1.gem

Google REALLY is your friend.

well, they do. if you go to the latest page [1] (Dec 31, 2007 ) and
follow the "download a gem" link for the latest release (0.4.1) you
get [2].
