Your personal research repository

About rCache

rCache is that always-there place to store data that you want to refer back to. Bookmarks and saving web page data to your computer's disk are unwieldy and slow processes. Your data is stored on your hard disk, and tends to be unorganized.

rCache frees you from this, by giving you your own research repository online - where you can store articles, blog postings, documents and images. Tagging and full-text keyword searching is a snap.
You can store data that you may want to cite in your research, white paper, article or your own blog posting.

rCache Feature List

Collect data from web pages, PDFs, Word Documents and other resources.

Index all of this data in a searchable, browsable database.

Tagging of Entries makes pinpoint filtering easy.

Filter your data by the Entry's source domain name.

Search your data by keyword or phrase.

RSS: Use an RSS reader to keep track of your most recent Entries or any tag based lookups into your data.

Collaborate: Give colleagues access to your research data, with restrictions based on tags or keyword searches.

System Requirements: (Online version)
Windows, Macintosh or Linux OS that can run Firefox 1.5 and later. rCache strives to be a cross-platform system, however, use of Internet Explorer (IE) is not encouraged. We are targeting Firefox users, or those that will use Firefox for data collection. Trying to support multiple broswers may be possible in the future. For the time being, we do not have the resources to code for IE.
