Ethicheck - Final Update

(Figure 1.0: Results page as it looks now)

This Week:

• Divided the results page into two columns based on the feedback received from User Study#2.
• From the user study#2, we understood that the users confused the submit user URLs text box with a new search box. So we replaced the Submit URLs text box with a search box, facilitating the users to start a new company search from the results page. The "submit user URL" text box was moved to the bottom of the page.
• Now we also classify the user submitted links and display them with the other results.
• Changed the motto statement, also based on the user study#2.
• Code was also hosted on CS Department's Cisco NAS server.

Current Status:

• The website is now fully functional. It provides for all the functionality that we had in mind when we started working on this project.
• The website now has better look and feel, faster loading time and decreased error rate.

Future Work:

• In the future, the website can be moved to a public domain, thus making it accessible on the internet.
• More websites can be crawled to find the information. Currently, we only crawl Wikipedia, NYtimes and our own Ethicheck wiki.
• Also, an Ethicheck phone app can be developed, so that the users can scan the bar code of the product and retrieve the information quickly.
• Lastly, we can have the users rate the relevance and accuracy of how the links are classified. Irrelevant and wrongly classified results can thus later be re-classified to improve efficiency.
