ABOUT SOPHIAKNOWS

Sophiaknows is a developer of open-source content management and secure database applications. Our intuitive visual configuration and site management tools can put novice designers to work creating sophisticated Web ready resources in minutes.

Sophia [n.Gr.] Wisdom, Goddess of Wisdom; Knows [v.i.] To have knowledge; to have a clear and certain perception; to possess wisdom, instruction, or information

Sophiaknows is dedicated to interchange of public domain data resources, as well as promotion and support of non-proprietary standards.

Our current, but not exclusive, areas of focus include: RSS, RDF, XML/XLST and SOAP (as well as Perl, PHP, cross-platform Javascript and standards based HTML development).

SOPHIAKNOWS HISTORY

Sophiaknows was formed in 1998 to distribute our first application: SK1.0 NetCalendar, a web based contact and group scheduling application.

Since that time we have extended our initial remote database and html reporting tools to support a variety of content and knowledge management applications.

We have compiled an extensive collection of GPL PHP, Perl, Javascript Tools, as well as voluminous Public Domain Legal and Technical Libraries (court opinions, statutes, and corporate filings). Both our source code and content libraries available for download, online search and application interchange.

PUBLIC DOMAIN LIBRARIES

Our public domain libraries include over 50,000 full-text documents and hundreds of thousands of directory and database entries.

Our core archive is a Federal Law Library including Supreme Court and Circuit Courts of Appeal decisions (1997-present), as well as the full text of the United States Code.

The library primary contents are hosted at TechlawReporter.Com and are available in full-text html and plaintext versions. Material can be retrieved in annual volumes, using standard legal citators, and by keyword search.

Annotated bibliographic directories are available for each library in HTML, TXT, and RSS formats. RSS bibliographic services are available for additional, remote, federal resources not included in our primary libraries, including recent legislation, pending regulations and agency press releases.

ABOUT OUR NAME

Sophia [n.Gr.] Wisdom, Goddess of Wisdom; Knows [v.i.] To have knowledge; to have a clear and certain perception; to possess wisdom, instruction, or information

Sophia is also a very clever little girl born the same year as Sophiaknows. And, her daddy, our domain name registrant, is apparently only good for one original bit of nomenclature per anum.
