The search function and the structured browsing will be developed in cooperation with the GNG as they have several years of experience working with schools and their students. Other resources might include the people at dvoted.net who are also working with a big database of films that has to be well organized.

The database system will be developed using a combination of a MySQL database and active server scripting – either ASP or PHP. Programming will be done in open-source freeware and graphics will be done using Adobe Photoshop.

The documentaries will be stored on an external server. The database system will not contain the documentaries themselves but links to their location on the external server. How technical the uploading of new documentaries will be is to be considered with the GNG. Testing the system will involve the GNG, contacts of other project groups and if possible students and teachers. This will ensure that the system will work as intended and help finding any bugs or quirks that should be updated.
